How do I get to Myrtle Beach SC through amtrak?

I've been googling around and it says I have to take a bus from there, but I can't find what type of bus service it is or how to reserve it. Are there train stations in Myrtle Beach?Oh yea, it says the only amtrak station near Myrtle beach is Florence station

There is a train station in Myrtle Beach but it's not an AMTRAK station and it doesn't run passenger service to Florence. It's more an occasional tourist deal.Take AMTRAK to either Florence (FLO) or Charleston (CHS) (base it on price) and then Greyhound/Trailways to Myrtle Beach. The Florence bus route goes to Charleston before it comes to MBSC so you might rather do AMTRAK to Charleston. Consider though - there are some places that you can fly into (MYR) here from for less than $100. I just looked at 3 flights from Myrtle Beach to LaGuardia or Boston for $69 on Spirit. I bet AMTRAK and Trailways aren't beating that.
