OVERVIEW

WELCOME TO MYRTLE BEACH, SOUTH CAROLINA See for yourself why the Grand Strand is a great place to gather. Group gatherings come in all shapes and sizes — from family reunions, student groups and sports teams to business meetings, conventions and motorcoach travelers — but there’s one destination that can accommodate them all. Welcome to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The Myrtle Beach area, also referred to as the Grand Strand, comprises 60 miles of wide, pristine beaches along the South Carolina shoreline. Here, meetings are held against a backdrop of the sparkling Atlantic, in facilities ranging from comfortable and spacious hotel conference rooms to full-size convention centers. There are plenty of ways to play here, making the Myrtle Beach area an ideal destination for all types of group travel. The area’s mild climate makes a trip to the beach enjoyable throughout the year, and there’s more to do beyond the beach. More than 100 golf courses, many designed by world-class architects, offer an enjoy-

able day on the links. For the group’s thrill seekers, water parks, theme parks and race car attractions will keep their adrenaline pumping. Or, spend the day shopping — the area is home to outdoor complexes, brand-name outlets, specialty shops and malls. Unlike many group travel destinations, where businesses close up shop when the sun goes down, the Myrtle Beach area comes alive at night. A memorable dining experience is yours for the taking, ranging from fine cuisine with Lowcountry flair to themed dinner show attractions. (With more than 1,700 restaurants in the area, you’ll find something to please everyone.) After dinner, explore the vibrant nightlife scene, including numerous live theaters, variety shows and nightclubs. Use this guide to explore how the Myrtle Beach area can be the ideal destination for your group’s priorities and needs. Welcome to our beach — we look forward to your visit!

2 2012 MYRTLE BEACH AREA MEETING & GROUP PLANNER GUIDE

A magnificent location, mild climate and unrivaled attractions (including 60 miles of beach) are just a few of the qualities that make the Myrtle Beach area the ideal setting for any kind of gathering.

Meetings and Conventions

The Myrtle Beach area boasts first-class meeting facilities, including a 250,000 square-foot convention center and a variety of hotels with ballrooms and conference room capacities.

Family Reunions

Entertaining a crowd is easy in the Myrtle Beach area, which makes this an ideal destination for family reunions. Amusement parks, water parks and mini-golf courses are all the rage in summertime, and families can enjoy poolside picnics or worshiping together on Sunday mornings.

There’s also a full slate of live family entertainment to keep the whole crowd smiling.

Motorcoach Travelers

Fantastic shows, unbeatable shopping and tours of the Lowcountry, from Antebellum plantations to beautiful formal gardens, are guaranteed to delight your group. Area day trips are also a crowd pleaser – see p. 83 for more information.

Music Festival/Performance Groups

Scores of performance festivals and competitions, from band and chorus to cheerleading and dance, are held along the Grand Strand each year. Teens and ‘tweens love our gorgeous sandy beaches, thrilling amusement park rides and themed restaurants, to name a few!

Student Groups

Learning is fun in the Myrtle Beach area, as many of our attractions offer educational programs and behindthe-scenes tours for student groups. After a backstage visit or a lesson on marine life, a stop at an amusement park or live theater rounds out an exciting day in Myrtle Beach!

Retired Military Units

Location and weather make us a premier choice for veterans, many of whom enjoy our spectacular live entertainment and world-class golf. Day trips to several historical sites are also popular. For casual get-togethers, hospitality suites fit the bill perfectly.

Sports

For all the reasons that 14 million visitors enjoy Myrtle Beach annually, sports event organizers see Myrtle Beach as the perfect destination to combine competition with family fun. Fantastic facilities are overshadowed only by the endless entertainment options, making it a win-win for all who come to compete!

Beautiful Weather, No Matter the Season

South Carolina’s Grand Strand is blessed with moderate temperatures annually. The Myrtle Beach area enjoys a mild average temperature of 74o F, with an average of 215 sunny days each year. Any time of year — spring, summer, fall or winter — is the perfect time for a group gathering on the Grand Strand.

Accessibility is another reason the Myrtle Beach area is an ideal locale for meetings or group travel. By air, car or train, the transportation options are plentiful: U.S. routes 17 and 501 and S.C. 9 provide direct access to the Grand Strand from Interstates 95 and 20. The 28-mile S.C. 22 (Veterans Highway) offers a route from U.S. 501 to U.S. 17. Carolina Bays Parkway (S.C. 31) runs from S.C. 9 to U.S. 501 and S.C. 544, and will ultimately extend to U.S. 17 south of Myrtle Beach. A proposed Interstate 73 corridor will create a direct route for visitors from the Midwest and Northeast U.S.

Imagination and inspiration have made the Myrtle Beach Convention Center its home. Design and functionality merge seamless in our 17,000 square foot ballroom, so much so that elegant banquets for 1,000 or more guests are a snap to organize. The Grand Ballroom is also divisible and can accommodate five large meetings simultaneously. Our first-class food and beverage provider, the Sheraton Myrtle Beach Convention Center Hotel, presents traditional and custom menus ranging from continental breakfasts to seven-course extravaganzas. Whatever your agenda, our ballroom’s flexibility and beauty break the old rules of how convention center ballrooms should be. Hosting great meetings require a bit of flexibility. Our seventeen functional meeting rooms vary in size. Some of our meeting rooms have the capacity to double in size with the opening of air walls. Classroom sets can accommodate up to 150 delegates in educational or test-

ing breakout sessions. Theater sets can accommodate up to 200 delegates for those needing breakouts. Planners needing an intimate location for a reception will enjoy the Hall of Fame area. At sunset, it can be transformed to an awe-inspiring area of beauty, function, and flexibility. This uniquely designed area would be less than ideal, if it were not for our modern audio and lighting capabilities, thus making this area sought after year after year. At the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, groups can break out of the mold of limited meeting space. Our Events Plaza is the perfect place to enjoy Myrtle Beach’s warm ocean breeze. The Event Plaza’s, 30,000 squarefoot landscape is a stunning space and appropriate for receptions, oyster roasts, barbecues and other outdoor activities. The plaza is also an ideal location for press conferences, small concerts and all types of celebrations looking for that extraordinary touch of nature’s splendor. VisitMyrtleBeach.com 9

PLENTY OF WAYS TO PLAY Have some down time? From shopping to surfing, you won’t be bored here! Whether your group is ready for a break from the conference room or a rest from the competition, there’s plenty to do in the Myrtle Beach area. With options for everyone, the only challenge is deciding what to do first! Beautiful scenery, warm temperatures and abundant sunshine are par for the course in Myrtle Beach, so get outside! If your group is seeking high-energy thrills, head to an amusement park for a roller coaster ride or a spin on the carousel. For a little friendly competition, host your group’s own mini-golf tournament at one of the area’s 50-plus courses. Natural attractions include Brookgreen Gardens, where miles of paths wind through indigenous flora and fauna, punctuated gracefully by the oldest and largest sculpture garden in the United States. At Myrtle Beach State Park and Huntington Beach State Park, a wide-open beach and fishing pier are combined with a lush, oceanfront maritime forest.

For the golfers in your group, choose from among the 100-plus courses that span the Grand Strand, designed by legends such as Arnold Palmer, Greg Norman and Robert Trent Jones. In 2010, Golf Digest named four area courses to its annual “Top 100 Public Courses in America” list. Shopping is sport here, too! Spend a day shopping the deals at the Tanger Outlets, or head to the area shopping malls. Beachwear stores offer everything under the sun for enjoying days on the water; at outdoor shopping complexes like Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot Landing and Market Common, shoppers stroll past gardens, fountains and lakes, popping into a row of upscale shops. Many facilities offer personalized group welcomes and valuable discount coupons. So play as you will — there’s no shortage of fun in Myrtle Beach, SC!

Shag Dancing Time It’s a classic and time-honored pairing: North Myrtle Beach and shag dancing. This popular pastime dates to the 1940s and ’50s, when teenagers perfected dance steps in North Myrtle’s oceanfront clubs. Local shag dance instructor Judy Collins describes the history behind the dance’s fancy footwork. “The shag originally came from the Jitterbug and the Lindy, but it’s not jerky — it’s smooth.” Dancers of all ages enjoy the shag and it often becomes a family tradition. “For many of the younger people, their parents and grandparents grew up dancing, and the interest goes through the generations,” Collins says.

isitors come to the close-knit inland community of Loris every October for its popular Bog-Off Festival, which includes all the essential ingredients of a good old-fashioned Southern event: entertainment, arts and crafts, a festival queen, fireworks and most importantly, a chicken bog cooking competition. Exactly what is chicken bog? Visitors unfamiliar with this Carolina Lowcountry classic are certainly missing out! Chicken bog is a flavorful stew of rice, chicken, sausage, onion and seasonings, usually served in hefty portions. While the bulk of the ingredients remain the same, culinary contestants showcase their own personal flavor combinations in hopes of claiming the coveted accolade of being named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Bog.â&#x20AC;? The dish is a staple at any proper Lowcountry gathering because it can easily serve a large crowd. Plan a visit to Loris and come prepared to sample, vote and celebrate the Loris Bog-Off champion.

Pawleys Island Hammocks Pawleys Island is the perfect place to relax in a hammock, and with good reason — a boat captain invented the woven rope swing more than a century ago in Pawleys Island. Captain Joshua Ward, a riverboat pilot who ferried supplies among the rice plantations of Georgetown in the late 1800s, needed a more comfortable bed on his vessel. His lumpy mattress was too hot for the steamy Lowcountry summers, so he wove rope pieces together and strung them up, hoping to maximize the benefit of the tidal breeze and the roll of the waves. The result was so strong and comfortable that the product — a hammock — is still enjoyed in the same form more than 100 years later. Paired with a shade tree and a glass of lemonade, a Pawleys Island hammock is a product, a pastime and a state-of-mind all rolled into one.
