Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Gets a New Rollercoaster

Myrtle Beach already has plenty of ways to entertain families, from 60 miles of beaches to the Carolina Opry and absolutely everything in between. But one spot families love to visit, Family Kingdom, is about to get a brand-new attraction, and we hope it will be unveiled before the kiddos head back to school.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
