What to do and see in Myrtle Beach, United States: The Best Places and Tips
Myrtle Beach is all at once a spring break destination, golfing destination, retirement community, and family vacation spot. Take in a foot-stomping show at the Carolina Opry, or cheer on your favorite knight at Medieval Times. Mingle with the fishermen of Springmaid Pier, then stop for ice cream along the boardwalk. Shop and dine at one of the area’s many outdoor entertainment complexes, or simply explore the many beaches of the Grand Strand – all with a personality of their own.

First, there is an elevator for those who do not do stairs well! Then, you are greeted with a smile and genuine warmth at the front desk. Explore! There are two floors filled with amazing and varied works of art. There is no admission charge, but it is nice to put some money in the donation well near the desk. And if you want to explore art books, there is a nice library where you can sit and browse. One of the absolute best times in Myrtle Beach. You will be so happy you made the trip.

We have a big green fence out front. We now offer Draught Pours and retail sales on Tuesday - Friday 4:30-7:00ish and Saturday 1:00 - 5:00. Due to production demand during our summer season, along with safety protocol, our full tour will run from Labor Day - Memorial Day. We will continue to run our virtual tour as well as random walking tours (after production) during our Draft Pour/retail hours.

Great local brewery. A little off the beaten path behind a lumberyard and a little sketchy looking from the outside. The beer is fantastic once you get past a few quirky state or local rules. Bring your ID.
They do not offer flights or samples but 6 oz pours are only $2 so it is easy to sample many beers. I tried 4. The Nut Brown Ale was my favorite followed by the Lager. Both tasty and easy to drink. I also tried the Dark Star Porter and the Java Nut Ale. Both solid but I preferred the others. I thought the Java Nut Ale had a too overwhelming coffee flavor. I bought a growler full of Nut Brown Ale to drink on the beach and a six pack to take home with me. Hope I can go back this trip as there are 3 others I wanted to try.

The Motown Show was so fun. The artists are so interactive with the crowd. And the music was good. The show is about 2 hours. They have a little concession stand with drinks, candy and popcorn.

Enjoy cuisine from some of the area's best chefs at one of eleven popular restaurants, or take in a movie at the most comfortable theater at the beach.

Market Common is a place whose time has come. Someone's vision is 20/20 here. The shops and boutiques are hip and fun to shop. The restaurants are geared to thirty-somethings who appreciate good food as well as convenience. The theater is terrific showing a broad array of first run movies. Parking is available on-street or in lots. You can pretty much enjoy an entire day here if you wish or simply drive in for dinner and a movie. They've built a beautiful community which seems ever expanding around the commercial area. The place is just right for most. It's worth the trip.

We went here during my kids spring break. The beach area can be busy. So get there earlier in the morning to get a parking spot near the beach. It can be hard to find public bathrooms here. The beach was clean.
8. Myrtle Beach State Park

Reviewed By Ron P - Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
I stayed here in my RV for 3 nights. The camp ground is nice, friendly and clean; although, the laundry floor was filthy, even though the maintenance person inspected it while I was there. The beach is beautiful and only a very short walk from the camp. The park and beach are only dog friendly as long as Fido is on a leash. Outside the park beach, there were many people letting their dogs run freely. Being here in mid February, many of the main restaurants and bars were closed. The airport is pretty close and the airplanes are directly over head starting about 6:00 am. The airport noise is truly the only negative. I would most definitely stay here again

My son and I ventured up the beach looking for a non-traditional breakfast place. The Second Avenue Pier had a great little restaurant inside. Breakfast was delicious and not expensive. Plus, we paid the $1.00 (off season rate) to walk out the private pier. Just a great time!

I am terrified of heights so this was not my favorite thing to do. My family really enjoyed it and the views. They do have a button inside that when pushed, will bring you back down and allow you to get off and the rest of your group can carry on. I took advantage of this after once around. The rest of my family enjoyed a couple more times around. Kids 14, 8 and 4.
