The grand strand is highly commercial with all kinds of things to do for the tourists. Edisto beach is mostly beach houses Only a few resturants and bars, with a state park at the north end if you're camping. Hunting Island is all state park and you have a long run to make for beer, food etc , also a curfew. LOL. I go to Edisto usually because it is life a family beach and i got lots of family to indulge on. The prices are cheaper now than they were a couple years ago due to the economy. Hilton Head is nice, nice , nice but ritzie. Fripp Island is next to hunting Island , a little more up scale than Edisto. But None of them but the Grand Strand are choked with kiddie rides and so forth. I like fishing, shrimping behind Hunting and Fripp better than Edisto usually. The grand strand has beach but no Marsh, The kids go for the beach and I go to the marsh. LOL

thanks for all the info. My wife and kids have never seen the ocean, so I am looking for a peaceful place to take them with out spending a bunch of money if I don't have too. We want to rent a hotel for two nights and enjoy the beach, that is all she want to do. lol, so what will be closer and is still a good place to go with the family without all the people. thanks again.

Since you're looking for peaceful, I would have to agree with lyle.
I prefer Hunting and Fripp also, Myrtle Beach is out of the question for you, it's a blowed up Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge.
Edisto would more than likely be what you're looking for. They don't have hotels the last I checked, but you can search online and find beach houses fully equipped for a decent price.
