There are a few beach rules to keep in mind here.
The one that you liked most?
- I don't know if I like it most. - [laughs]
It's just that they make rules
No, I mean, the rule that sounds more interesting to us.
- Yeah. No string.
- No string bikinis.
[music]
I was born to golf, baby.
Rice and beans here with the cheese on top.
It gives a whole new flavor.
- I think this is a shark tooth. - No way!
Hello again from charming South Carolina
on the East Coast of the United States.
We're in the city called Myrtle Beach.
It's a very charming beach community here.
I already have another video showing probably the most famous attractions,
but there's a lot more to do here,
and that's what I'll show in this video.
[music]
Ooh! That's cold
So cold.
The water is so cold, still.
I don't know how someone can swim here.
My feet are almost numb.
When you're walking on the beach like this,
keep your eyes open,
always look at the ocean because you may see dolphins here
We saw quite a few times,
even from our hotel room,
and it is so lovely.
We spent the entire winter here,
and it is very interesting how cold it can get, right?
- Yeah. - Close to freezing sometimes.
And then the other days the temperatures go up to,
let's say, upper 60s, lower 70s, right?
- Uh-hmm. - When that happens,
everyone comes here to the beach.
Now we heard that during summer,
you don't have to worry about that at all.
It's hot and humid the whole time.
- No, I've seen an iceberg come down
- ...float all this way. - Oh, yeah! [laughs]
We heard also that the water here during summer is really warm, right?
- Yeah. - What did you read about it?
- It comes from the Caribbean.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- How hot is it? - 80s.
- The water? - 80.
- No way. Really? - Yeah.
- Wow. Compared to now! - Uh-hmm.
Very warm from the Caribbean with many sharks.
- The sharks come together?
- Yeah, they heat it up. - [laughs]
No, it's probably not that bad, but there are some sharks here.
- And not baby shark
But anyways, it's the Caribbean,
Caribbean water that warms it up all the way up to New York.
- All the way to New York?
- Yeah. - No way.
- The stream goes all the way to the UK.
- Wow. - Yeah.
I got some facts in that noggin of mine
- [laughs]
In the off season, this is a perfect place to exercise.
There's a huge stretch of sand here. Look at this.
Here you can really maintain social distancing.
It was our favorite pastime.
- Hello, hello.
- Now if you come during summer, there are a few beach rules
to keep in mind here.
One of them, for example, no tents are allowed, only beach umbrellas.
And that's interesting because you see tents
all over Florida, for example, but not here.
- No alcohol. - Yes, no alcohol, that's another thing.
And that goes, you know, year-round.
And there's something else very interesting.
-And no cheeks. - [laughs]
- No thongs are allowed here.
No string bikini, seriously.
It's the law. You can be arrested for that.
There was a case already.
- Oh, this is not Ipanema.
- This is not Brazil.
My impression is that this is more of a family-friendly beach and city,
and they're trying to keep it that way.
If you disagree, you can always go to Miami Beach, right?
- Yeah. There's always Miami, or Brazil.
- Or Brazil.
Nice sand, huh?
Yeah, it's very fine.
- Shark tooth? - Nice and soft.
- No, I don't think so.
Yeah, you heard it right.
You can find fossilized shark teeth here at the beach.
Is this it? - I think this is a shark tooth.
- No way! Yeah, it looks like a tooth.
- I wonder if this one is, too. - You found?
- Oh, wow.
No, I don't think this one is.
- No? - No, I don't think so.
- Don't you see how they are the same? - Yeah, they have the same pattern.
I don't know. Let's keep looking. Let's keep looking.
It can be really hard to find,
because look at this, sometimes they're mixed with the seashells.
So focus on the black ones
because that's what we're looking for.
Real experts can even tell what teeth came from which shark.
Do you see a great white shark teeth there?
- I don't know.
I think I found one, baby, a really tiny one.
You see?
- No. - Yeah, look at this.
It's very sharp. - No, no, no.
Mine is a baby shark. [laughs]
It is so sharp.
This is not.
Put this back.
Imagine this biting you. It's sharp, huh?
Isn't it? - Yeah.
[laughs]
- This is not. No.
Yeah, this tiny one is sharp.
[laughs]
- What if these aren't shark teeth?
- Maybe they're not.
- Maybe. - Yeah.
It could be too much of a coincidence, too.
In like 15 minutes we found all these, right?
- Yeah. - [laughs]
- Oh, we're inexperienced or there a lot of sharks here.
- Yeah, one or the other.
[music]
After a nice morning at the beach,
nothing like walking back to your hotel like this
directly from the sand.
This is unique.
Automatic, yeah? - Yes.
- Oh, look at you. Look at you!
[laughs]
It's warmer here, right, compared to the beach?
- Sim [Yes in Portuguese]
Most of these hotels not only have beautiful outdoor areas like this
with water parks and everything,
but they also have indoor pools.
And even outside here, the water is heated.
Geez, this day is so perfect.
Baby, how's it going there?
- Ssh.
- [laughs]
You just want peace, huh?
- Ssh.
Myrtle Beach is more than just beach.
I already mentioned this my first vlog,
and I'm going to give you the best example.
This is considered the mini golf capital of the world,
and there's golf and mini golf everywhere.
Look, there's one right here.
More precisely, in this entire region here,
there are 86 golf courses and 34 miniature golf courses.
Just like this one, so crazy.
Golfing, I think, it would be too hard as I've never played.
And Gordon is not an expert either, right?
- No. - No.
So we thought it'd be fun to try the mini golf.
- Man: Hi. - Hi.
Good. We got a ticket for the mini golf.
I just booked online. Yeah.
- Two of them? - Two, yeah.
- Okay. Ticket for two.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Different lengths? - Yeah.
I bought the tickets directly on their website
because you get a discount there.
It's a dollar off.
So you get here, just present it on your phone.
In the end, it was $10 each.
There's a six-stroke limit.
Let's see how good am I.
Oh, this is cool. Look at this.
Okay, baby, show me what to do.
You see? You got to get in the hole, right?
- Okay. - Some have hills, some are downhill.
- Okay. - Some have curves
- And I saw that you...
Oh, you're so good! Right in your first one!
No way!
So it's saying, you should be able to do it in two.
You should be able to do it in three. - Okay.
My first time ever.
- No, no, no, no.
- How do I do? Like like this?
- Yes. - Like this. Okay.
Oh, my God! First time ever.
No way! [laughs]
I was born to golf, baby.
- Practice. Don't worry about me.
Practice - Yay.
Whoo-hoo.
Now is the real deal, baby.
- Yes. - Let's go.
- Are you ready? - Yes.
So do you see? A lot of them have obstacles.
- Okay. - That's the point.
- Okay.
Oh, that was close actually.
- Now, your turn.
Oh.
I almost lost a ball, my very first one.
Oh! [laughs]
Whoo-hoo!
And you know what's cool?
All these mini golf courses are thematic,
so you can choose if you want to play around a beautiful garden,
animals, dinosaurs.
We came for Captain Hook and Peter Pan,
so we're basically in Neverland.
- Where is Peter? Where are the Lost Boys?
Let me out. Let me out.
There's a chance I might lose this ball here.
Oh.
That was good.
- Oh. - Yay.
You're done. You exhausted your chances.
That's it. You can only have six.
Do you realize that we're in Peter Pan land,
which means Neverland,
which means kids never grow up.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
It perfectly suits you, huh? - Ah, yes.
- Okay.
That is so cool, baby. [laughs]
The ball comes all the way from the top and arrives here.
Yay!
You know that the maximum you can play is six, right?
- Is it? - Yeah.
- You’ve been to seven twice already.
And I haven't been to seven anytime yet.
How many holes there are?
- 18 plus 18, 36. - Oh, 36.
- Yeah. - Wow.
- I think we're supposed to only do 18.
- Yeah, I think so, too.
We're total amateurs here.
The ball was swallowed by a hole,
and then we asked for others,
but we didn't realize it was the end of the course.
Oh.
This is actually so fun.
I totally thought it was a kids only.
- No. - But not, not.
- Everybody is a kid.
- But there are so many adults here, too, right?
- Everybody is a kid.
- Everybody is a kid. - Most, most.
- But seriously, there are so many adults here playing,
not only kids.
That was really cool. Good surprise.
Did you grow up in Neverland?
- No. - [laughs]
- Canada. - What do you mean, Can...
- I grew up in Canada. - [laughs]
Neverland is the place where kids don't grow up.
- Oh. I grew up in Canada.
♪ It's the final countdown ♪
65, me? - Yes.
You should be able to do it in 40.
- Oh, really? [laughs]
- 58 for me. - No.
There's no way you won, baby. There's no way you won.
You were so much worse than me.
[laughs]
- Really 58-65? No way, baby.
And that was only the right course, right?
This is the one that we did by mistake.
Next time, I don't know if you can stay
in charge of the count. - The count, why?
- Because I was so much better than you, baby.
- Oh, you were!?
I'm not sure these numbers are right there.
But they are, arithmetic never lies.
But I think like when you did five, you put four.
No.
I put three. [laughs]
[music]
After a shower and a quick snack,
we're now on our way to North Myrtle Beach,
a separate city called North Myrtle Beach,
very close to the border with North Carolina.
Oh, the outlet here.
This is almost where the Grand Strand begins.
The Grand Strand is a 60-mile stretch of beach
that goes from the border with North Carolina
and to about a third of the coast of South Carolina.
Myrtle Beach is right in the middle.
And today, we're going to see a little bit of the north,
and then in my next video, a little bit of the south.
We're gonna pass Barefoot Landing, but we'll be back, okay?
- Okay.
- Are you hungry? - Yes.
Just a quick look at North Myrtle Beach.
This is Main Street.
So charming.
And here exactly the same beach. Look at this.
Impressive how long it is.
This seems to be a much quieter area.
Welcome to Barefoot Landing.
This is another beautiful shopping, dining, and entertainment complex.
Similar to Broadway at the Beach that I showed in the other video.
- Whoo-hoo!
Yeah, I guess they like these places here in Myrtle Beach.
Cheers, baby.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
What a beautiful place for dinner.
These beans look good. - Yeah.
Yeah, look at that.
Good. Let me try.
Mmm. I really like it.
So different the way they prepare rice and beans here
with the cheese on top.
It gives a whole new flavor, hmm?
Mmm.
I love quesadillas so much.
And this is delicious, chicken quesadilla.
Look at this, how amazing, huh?
We got here ahead of the crowd.
Look at this. And basically got the place to ourselves.
Happy? Tummy full?
- Happy, happy, happy.
We were really lucky coming here earlier
and going to the restaurant first
because these restaurants get really, really busy.
We overheard people saying right now
that the wait time is like 40 minutes,
one or two hours in certain places, right?
- Uh-hmm. - Yes.
So definitely come here earlier.
Don't wait until dinnertime.
And this sunset, huh?
Wow, totally fantastic.
This is the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway,
and it stretches 2,000 miles
from Massachusetts to Key West in Florida.
Wow! It basically goes through the entire East Coast of the United States.
Makes you appreciate it even more, huh?
[music]
How do you compare Barefoot Landing with Broadway at the Beach?
Broadway at the Beach was in the first video.
- This is more scenic. - This is more scenic, yeah.
- So this is more lively.
- You think it is? - Yeah.
- I think both are lively, but restaurants are definitely busier here.
- Yes. - And it's not even summer yet.
But both places are really nice, worth visiting.
And there's also the Market Common
that we're going to show in the next video.
- Don't forget that.
- Oh, now look at all the mosquitoes.
- Oh, wow! - Look at all the mosquitoes.
- I don't know if you can see it, but they are so many.
It's a cloud of mosquitoes.
Look at Gordon just running away from the mosquitoes
Are you going as fast as you can? - Yeah.
- Too many. - So many. Geez.
So here is the moment of truth.
Are these real shark teeth? - No
They don't look like shark teeth at all.
- No? - No.
- Show me what do shark teeth look like.
- Right there
- This probably not. Next.
I don't think so.
- You know, maybe this one is.
It could be. - Oh, it could be, it could be.
- Could this be? - This one? Maybe not.
- And your choice. - I think this one is.
- How can that be?
- It's tiny, it's a baby shark.
Very similar to this one here,
Bull shark. - Uh-hmm.
I think it's very similar to a Bull shark.
Look at that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
