I'll be heading there from Raleigh, NC. Looking at Google maps, there seem to be 3 different ways to go after getting off I95 - each within 5 miles of each other distance wise. All appear to be state routes. Not knowing the area, can anyone recommend the best way to go? I ruled out one because it's taking us through a lot of streets (lots of left and right turns). Please bear in mind we're still kind of newbies driving this thing so the less traffic, wider lanes and fewer turns, the happier we are!
1) 95 to NC 87 to NC 131 to NC 410 to US 701 to SC 22 to US 17 OR
2) 95 to NC 87 to NC 131 to US 701 to NC 130 to SC 31 to US 17
PS: going to Pirateland, if that helps any, as I know a few of you have been there already.
Thanks!

Take I-40 to Wilmington then 17 south. When you get into North Myrtle Beach take the outer corridor that your maps show, can't remember the highway numbers, but it's an easy route.

Last time we took US501 from I95 and then SC544 to Kings Highway (US17 Business) and turned north to get to Pirateland. It was not memorable, so I guess it was a good route. US17 is a slow road much of Wilmington to the south end of Myrtle Beach.

I've driven the Beast (trailer and Bull) over 1,000 Miles now, and the BULL over 2,000 miles. Speak for yourself you NOOBie!!!
Lovingly spoken. across the dining room table, to the INTERweb, and maybe 1,000 miles of data pipes, back to YOUR desk!
