Where am I
Where to go and what to do in the Myrtle Beach area Myrtle Beach’s 60-mile coast boasts 12 sun-filled communities, each bringing something special and unique to the area. Visit as many as you can during your stay and enjoy the variety of South Carolina’s Grand Strand and all it has to offer. Little River is not only the oldest community along the Grand Strand; it’s also one of the few places left where life moves at a slower pace. This fishing village is known for its fresh seafood and popular Blue Crab Festival. Visitors to Little River will enjoy peaceful days along the water and gain a deeper understanding of what southern comfort is all about. North Myrtle Beach is no longer just the home of the Shag, South Carolina’s state dance. Along a 9-mile stretch of beach, you’ll

find a place where the words ‘laid’ and ‘back’ fit together perfectly. While you’re on the North end, shag your way over to Atlantic Beach, an area sometimes referred to as the “Black Pearl.” Home to several annual festivals, visitors to Atlantic Beach can also see how this small town has been molded by South Carolina’s Gullah-Geechee culture. Beautiful beaches, delicious restaurants, stellar shopping, and never-ending entertainment can all be found in Myrtle Beach, the heart of the Grand Strand. A little further south you’ll find the small town of Surfside Beach, aptly nicknamed the “family beach.” The family-friendly atmosphere of both areas offers fishing, festivals, and tons of fun in the sun.

Pawleys Island
Litchfield Beach
Found at the southernmost end of the Myrtle Beach area, Pawleys Island is one of the oldest resorts on the East Coast and was the summer home to wealthy pre-Civil War rice planters, who retreated to the island to escape the heat and disease-causing mosquitoes. Some of these homes are still intact and historical markers throughout the small island give brief histories. Residents and visitors alike proudly call Pawleys Island, “arrogantly shabby,” and revel in its simplicity and natural beauty. The community of Pawleys Island boasts unique shops and restaurants sure to please every palate, but the slower pace encourages spending hours in hammocks gazing across the wide expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Beach houses are passed down through the generations and upgrades are few. According to Josh Quigley, resident of the Pawleys Island area, arrogantly shabby means “old school and proud of it.” From this leisurely existence, Pawleys Island has developed its laid back, shoeless lifestyle. An afternoon crabbing in the creek, following by a feast of the day’s catch is the kind of beautifully simple day that entices visitors year after year. HammockCoastSC.com
Long walks on wide beaches erase the cares of visitors to Litchfield Beach. Quiet and reserved, Litchfield Beach’s sophisticated appeal includes world-class golf courses, fine dining and a slightly urban feel. Beaches are more sparsely populated here, and the natural beauty of sand and sea oats takes center stage. Established in 1978, this popular unincorporated beach community took its name from Litchfield Plantation, a lovely rice plantation on the Waccamaw River. Runners, walkers and bikers enjoy Waccamaw Neck Bikeway that is part of the East Coast Greenway, finding no better way to experience the sights and sounds of this beautiful area. HammockCoastSC.com

Known as “seafood capital of South Carolina,” there’s a delicious dinner waiting after a busy, fun-filled day. This fishing village has a boating experience for every taste, from kayaking at sunrise to a day-long, chartered deep sea fishing excursion to the Gulf Stream.

the Marshwalk, with live music streaming from several establishments. Founded by Archer and Anna Huntington in 1931, Brookgreen Gardens was their gift to the community they loved. Today it is a National Historic Landmark with one of the most significant collections of figurative sculpture, by American artists, in an outdoor setting in the world. Visitors will always find something in bloom, no matter what the season, and the zoo offers an up close look at local wildlife. Directly across the highway lies Huntington Beach State Park, originally a part of the Huntington’s estate and now a must-see for the serious bird watcher.

Surfside Beach
The perfect family getaway It’s all about families in Surfside Beach, where visitors will find activities to please all ages. By the time the town was incorporated in 1964, the quiet, clean community had already established its reputation as a family beach. In the early 1800s, much of what is now Surfside Beach was owned by John Tillman and called The Ark Plantation, where the main crop produced was sweet potatoes. The original plantation house stood until the middle of the 20th century. Pristine, beautiful beaches are cleaned daily and supervised by lifeguards and police. Several beach access points offer showers, restrooms and foot showers, as well as handicapped accessible ramps.

North Myrtle Beach Where the shag reigns supreme
The area now known as North Myrtle Beach has a rich history that began well before Europeans appeared. Originally the parttime home and retreat of the Waccamaw and Winyah Native American tribes, they called the coast, “Chicora,” meaning “the land.” The Spanish explored the area in the 1500s, and by the 1700s, what is now known as Cherry Grove was a successful indigo plantation, as well as the occasional home of the notorious pirate Blackbeard. Today, North Myrtle Beach is a thriving area and a favorite among tourists. In 1968, four existing communities, Cherry Grove, Windy Hill, Ocean Drive and Crescent Beach were combined to form the city. Throughout the year, festivals celebrate everything from St. Patrick’s Day to the end of summer. Strains of beach music can be heard in the Ocean Drive section nearly every night as those who love the state dance, the shag, slip and slide the night away.
An oceanfront amusement park on Main Street offers classic rides and amusements to please all ages, along with free summer concerts throughout the season in nearby McLean Park. Reptiles rule at a sanctuary that houses alligators, snakes, lizards and tropical birds. Beautiful beaches, fishing piers, boating and the world’s largest waterslide offer plenty of outdoor fun. Finding treasures and souvenirs are an exciting addition to any vacation. Well known for its wide variety of shopping, North Myrtle Beach has an eclectic array of outlet stores, malls, quirky flea markets and unusual boutiques. After a day spent enjoying all that North Myrtle Beach has to offer, gorgeous sunsets herald the end of daylight, and the beginning of a nightlife filled with excitement.

Myrtle Beach Area Memories Last a Lifetime
Our visitors share what matters most on vacation My favorite memory is spending the day on the beach with my family and friends. Since I was little, I have been visiting with my family; but as I get older, I visit more with friends. With groups, the beach and entire area is great. It’s a family-oriented, friendly area that is safe and fun. Two of my friends recently got engaged on the beach, and that was a great memory that we were able to take part in and share forever. - The Alexander Family Brodhead, Kentucky
My favorite memory was introducing my mother and dad to the beach, along with their grandchildren. My parents had never visited the ocean, while we went to Myrtle Beach every year. Finally they came along with us and our children, ages 9 and 2. Seeing the joy in their eyes along with the little ones was amazing. Since 1970, every vacation in Myrtle Beach has its own special memories. We never vacation anywhere else. Now, my sisters and their husbands come with us, and we stay for a month in a beautiful condo on the south end of Myrtle Beach. - The Coakley Family Frostburg, Maryland

Myrtle Beach Memories
One of our favorite memories of our beach visits is searching for washed-up shark teeth. For hours, all four of us comb the beach looking for the ‘big one.’ Also, we write our family name and year in the sand and take a photo every year. We have met so many nice people on our trips, and actually have kept in contact with some. When we arrive, it seems like we are home. We know the local stores, mini-golf courses, restaurants and more. Each year, we can’t wait to visit and always hate coming back home. - The Haas Family Oregon, Ohio
We love Myrtle Beach so much and love to share it with family! A few years ago, we convinced my in-laws to come with us. We all had a great time! My husband and father-in-law fished while my mother-in-law enjoyed walking and reading on the beach. We all went to NASCAR Speedpark for dinner and my daughter actually got her grandparents and her Dad to race with her in the cars. It was wonderful! We got some GREAT pictures and even better memories. We all still talk about that trip, and I know my daughter made some priceless memories with her grandparents that will last a lifetime. - The Fields Family Fairborn, Ohio

The Fun Starts Here With all the rides, shopping and entertainment, you’ll have to think hard to remember you’re at the beach The Myrtle Beach area provides a new meaning and a higher standard to the word ‘vacation.’ The beach is your playground, and with over 60 miles of sand, sun, and the beautiful Atlantic Ocean, it’s easy to relax and relive those special childhood vacation memories. The fun may start at the beach, but it doesn’t have to stay there. Whether you’re vacationing with a big group or on your honeymoon, there is fun to be had at every turn. Myrtle Beach’s warm temperatures and abundant sunshine keeps everyone playing outside. Stay in the water and take a break from the sand while racing down a waterslide at one of the local waterparks, or spot dolphins while zipping around the surf on a jet ski. Test your bravery while parasailing over the Atlantic, or hold on tight as you embark on a fun-filled banana boat ride. Once you’ve had all the saltwater you can handle, get out of the ocean and soar into the sky on the east coast’s only 200-foot SkyWheel. If the ride leaves you wanting more of a thrill, hop on one of the area’s rollercoasters for more spins, dips and turns. Once you’ve had all of the excitement you can handle, head to one of the Grand Strand’s many miniature golf courses try your luck at hitting a hole-in-one. Explore the Myrtle Beach area’s great outdoors and discover the picturesque landscape for which the South Carolina coast is known. Two state parks, Myrtle Beach State Park and Huntington Beach State Park, offer

Get in the Water A relaxing vacation can turn exciting when you take your activities out on the water Our visitors love that “it’s five o’clock somewhere” feeling they get as soon as they arrive in the Myrtle Beach area. There is just something special about relaxing in a beach chair with your toes in the sand and a cold drink in your hand. But there is also something special about climbing onto a big, yellow banana boat in the Atlantic Ocean with your friends and family screaming with excitement as you head over a wave. Bodies of water are plentiful along the Grand Strand, whether it’s the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, or one of the many inlets and rivers, and a relaxing day beside the water can quickly become one of the most memorable when you decide to take the plunge. If you’re looking for an extreme water adventure, the Myrtle Beach area has plenty of options for you. Take your vacation to new heights while parasailing over the ocean or zoom just above the water on a speedy airboat. Jet ski, windsurfing and kiteboarding rentals are also available, for the true daredevils who visit our shores. Maybe you’re looking to be out on the water, but want to relax as well. It doesn’t get more relaxing or romantic than a sunset cruise around Murrells Inlet. Get even more intimate with Mother Nature and see our scenic wildlife up close while paddling through

the calm water on a guided kayak tour. The Myrtle Beach area may not be known for the biggest waves, but it is a great place to learn how to surf or try paddle boarding for the first time. Local surf shops offer surf lessons for beginners who are ready to hang ten, and visitors can even head out to a serene spot on the river for some paddleboard yoga! For those who love fishing, there’s no better place to put your rod and reel to work. Happy anglers make their way
back to the marina after a full or partial day of fishing on the Gulf Stream with a charter boat. There are also a number of piers along the Grand Strand for those wishing to keep their feet on firm ground with plenty of fish to catch! With so many opportunities to be out on the water, your vacation is bound to be full of splashes, plenty of excitement and lots of memories. Don’t count on staying too dry during your stay with us—get out there and enjoy the surf!

Out of Harm’s Way Have fun while playing it safe
There is nothing better than cooling off with a nice swim in the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. But before jumping in, here are ten safety tips for ocean swimmers to keep in mind: 1. Swim near a lifeguard. 2. Never swim alone. 3. Obey all posted warning signs and flags. 4. Protect your head and neck by not diving into the surf. 5. Avoid the use of alcohol and drugs. 6. Beware of trash and broken bottles. 7. Leash your boogie board or surfboard. 8. Don’t fight the current and signal for help if necessary. 9. Watch small children closely. 10. Don’t forget the sunscreen.
If caught in a rip tide: 1. Don’t fight the current 2. Swim out of the current, then in to shore 3. If you can’t escape, float or tread water 4. If you need help, call or wave for assistance
Clean Water, Safe Swim
The Myrtle Beach area keeps an eye on the surf The health and safety of residents and visitors are of the highest importance to the municipalities in the Myrtle Beach area. To ensure that area beach water is clean and safe, a voluntary beach water monitoring program is underway in cooperation with the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control. During the summer months, the surf is regularly tested. If unacceptable levels of bacteria are detected, the area affected is posted with an advisory.
The possibility of pollutants in ocean water is greatest after a heavy rain, when runoff from lawns and streets can pick up fertilizer, pesticides and trash. Swimming immediately after a rainstorm and playing in shallow tidal pools or in the water discharging from storm drainage pipes should be avoided. Swimming in contaminated water may result in minor illnesses such as sore throats or diarrhea. Natural organisms can affect anyone with certain existing health problems. VisitMyrtleBeach.com

Entertainment under the Stars
Everyone loves a little imagination, especially entertainers in the Myrtle Beach area From pirates to comedians, local theaters along the Grand Strand light up the stage with excitement. Whether you enjoy Broadway show tunes, head banging Rock-and-Roll, or good ‘ole country, the Myrtle Beach area has a show for you. Reminisce the night away listening to music from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. The ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ of the audience are audible when watching an amazing magic and illusion show complete with daring escapoligists, eye-poping illustionists and incredibly quick-change artists. Even with a mouth full of delicious chicken or a perfectly-cooked rib in your hand, you won’t stop cheering on your favorite knight and his steed while in the midst of a jousting match. Elsewhere on our shores, pirates fight it out on land and sea and happy families leave exciting shows saying, “Arrrgh matey,” one too many times. These family-friendly, themed shows are sure to leave you delighted and ready to see another. Whether you’re going back in time to a 70s disco era or catching up on the latest dance moves, live entertainment in the Myrtle Beach area is something all visitors can enjoy. The real fun begins when the sun sets and the stages light up!

Project Lifesaver
Device tracks missing people The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, one of the largest chambers of commerce in the Eastern United States, operates three visitors centers and is teaming with a group to help protect tourists with autism, Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease who may get lost or wander off. Through Project Lifesaver, lost or wandering visitors with autism, Down syndrome or Alzheimer’s disease can be tracked through a personalized wristband that emits a tracking signal. Those who wear the wristband can be quickly located and returned to their families and caregivers. The chamber has purchased several wristbands that visitors with special needs can use at no charge during their stay in the Myrtle Beach area. This is the first time
82
in the United States that Project Lifesaver is being offered to visitors, according to Project Lifesaver International. Project Lifesaver relies on proven radio technology and a specially trained search-andrescue team. When caregivers notify the local Project Lifesaver agency that a person is missing, a search and rescue team is dispatched to the wanderer’s area and starts searching with the mobile locater tracking system. Search times have been reduced from hours and days to minutes. Horry County Public Safety is the first public agency to be Project Lifesaver certified in South Carolina and only one in four to be certified in the state. For more information about Project Lifesaver, call the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce at (843) 626-7444 or visit one of our three welcome centers.

From This Day Forward… Planning a Myrtle Beach area wedding A wedding on the beach is the dream of many couples coming to the Myrtle Beach area to tie the knot. With a little advance planning, your special day can be everything you dreamed of and more. A visit to Conway, the country seat, is your first stop. Marriage licenses are issued at the Probate Court Office (843-915-5370). It’s in the County Courthouse at 1301 Second Avenue, Conway. Marriage licenses are issued between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, but the office is open until 5:00 p.m. Georgetown is the county seat of Georgetown County and marriage licenses are issued at 401 Cleland Street, Room 140 (843-545-3274). The office is open 8:30 am-5 pm. Both Probate Offices are closed for all legal holidays, so it is very important to plan your trip accordingly. To receive a marriage license from the Probate Court, you’ll need to: 1) file a marriage application; 2) file a statement, under oath or affirmation, that the persons seeking the contract of matrimony are legally entitled to marry, together with the full names of the persons, their ages and their places of residence; 3) pay the appropriate fee; and
84
4) observe the 24-hour waiting period. If either person is under 24, a birth certificate is required. Everyone must show a photo identification. All ministers of the Gospel, Jewish rabbis, officers authorized to administer oaths in this State, and the chief or spiritual leader of a Native American Indian entity recognized by the South Carolina Commission for Minority Affairs are authorized to administer a marriage ceremony in South Carolina. Fees range from $50 for county residents to $100 for out-of-state residents. Non-commercial weddings are allowed on public beaches throughout the area, but commercial weddings are only allowed on the handful of oceanfront lots that extend to the high tide line. Both commercial and non-commercial weddings are allowed in public parks in the City of Myrtle Beach with an approved permit. Contact the City of Myrtle Beach Parks Division at 843-9182332 for permits. You must rent a shelter if one is available. Permits for weddings may be denied based on factors including traffic and neighborhood impact.

The Grand Strand’s Best Waterfront Dining Located in the historic fishing village of Murrells Inlet, the Marsh Walk is a mile long wooden boardwalk along a natural saltwater estuary. Native Lowcountry wildlife and the vibrant saltwater marsh offer unexpected delight throughout the seasons. Egrets, graceful herons, jumping fish, oyster beds, fresh salt air breezes and the sun glittering across the water are just the beginning of your adventure. Stroll the Marsh Walk and experience the rich history and abundant natural beauty that is Murrells Inlet. From Native American tribes to Spanish explorers and early English colonists, the history and the natural landscape make Murrells Inlet the perfect setting for the Marsh Walk. In the 1800s, pirates sailed our coastline and hid in the Inlet’s winding creeks, waiting to plunder England-bound ships. The locals traveling by train were picked up by steamboats that docked at
Wachesaw River landing and then carried by horse and buggy to their cottages. Many of the steamboats’ cooks settled in Murrells Inlet andopened their own restaurants, giving the area a reputation for flavorful cuisine long ago. Today, the Marsh Walk is in the heart of “the seafood capitol of South Carolina.” While the dining alone makes this a top choice destination, the Marsh Walk also boasts a wide variety of activities for the whole family. You can come for lunch and play all day or come for the day and play all night. Enjoy live music nightly all along the Marsh Walk; dine and dance to everything from rock, piano, country, jazz, alternative and shag. Ocean sightseeing and dolphin watch cruises, dive training, kayaking, scuba diving and parasailing are all available. Boat rentals, jet skis, and chartered fishing trips round out the excitement along the waterfront.

Top 5 Reasons Myrtle Beach is Golf’s Best Trip Myrtle Beach is golf’s most popular destination. Practically everyone who plays golf has visited the area or certainly knows someone who has. But if not, here are the top 5 reasons Myrtle Beach should be the preferred destination for your next golf trip: 1. “It’s the Golf, Stupid” It’s a golf trip we are talking about and no destination can match the number and quality of courses offered along the Grand Strand. More than 50 area layouts have earned a 4-star designation from Golf Digest and 12 have been ranked among America’s Top 100 public courses in recent years. 2. Everybody Loves a Good Bargain Everyone wants to maximize value, particularly in difficult economic times, and no one does it better than Myrtle Beach. The area has the ability to accommodate just about any golf trip budget. The chance to get away, play golf and blow off a little steam can be therapeutic, and Myrtle Beach makes it possible for everyone. 3. If You Can’t Have a Good Time Here... Unlike some other destinations that roll up the sidewalks at sun down, Myrtle Beach is almost as much fun off the course as it is on. Whether it’s shopping, dining or a night out with the boys, it’s hard not to have fun in Myrtle Beach. 4. Golf SUPERstores The Grand Strand is home to four of the game’s best retail stores. PGA Tour Superstore and Golf Dimensions each have two area locations and have nearly every golf related item imaginable. It’s like putting a kid in a candy store. 5. Everyone is Welcome Face it: rightly or wrongly, golf is perceived as an elitist sport. In Myrtle Beach nothing could be further from the truth. From blue collar to white collar, men and women, young and old, Myrtle Beach, more so than anywhere else, welcomes everyone with open arms.

Act like a Tourist, Think like a Local Some things never get old at the beach, but it’s always fun to try something new. There are a few secrets in the Myrtle Beach area that we’re going to let you in on so you can make the most of your time on our shores! Shell Collecting: The tip of Cherry Grove in North Myrtle Beach and Shore Drive in Myrtle Beach are two great locations for finding special treasures. Oceanfront Water Sports: Grab a swimsuit and some courage and try Jet Skiing or Parasailing at 17th Ave. South in North Myrtle Beach or 29th Ave. South in Myrtle Beach.
128
Surfing: Learn the meaning of “Hang 10” while watching surfers on the beaches near Garden City Pier, Springmaid Pier in Myrtle Beach and near 27th Ave. South in North Myrtle Beach. Dining along the Dunes: After a long day in the sun and sand, head straight off the beach to grab a bite along Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach, the Boardwalk in Myrtle Beach or Atlantic Avenue in Garden City. A Panoramic View: Take a ride on the SkyWheel or one of the area’s helicopter tours to see firsthand just how amazing the Grand Strand is.

One-And-Two, Three-And-Four, Five-Six– The Smooth-Stepping Shag
A visit to the northern end of the Myrtle Beach area will certainly lead you to beautiful beaches and bright sunshine, but as the sun sinks into the western sky, strains of beach music will call you to join the smooth, surefooted dancers swaying and swinging to the beat. This is the Shag, the state dance of South Carolina. The Shag originated here in the ‘40s and ‘50s and has been a favorite of young and old
ever since. Twice a year, Shag dancers enjoy a weekend of smooth moves and partying in the Ocean Drive section of North Myrtle Beach – there is even a Junior S. O. S. weekend for the younger dancers! Similar to the jitterbug and swing dancing, the Shag is slower and smoother. When watching the experts on the floor, from the waist up they look calm and relaxed, but their feet seem to defy the laws of gravity. Come join the fun! VisitMyrtleBeach.com

Travel to the beautiful Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina is now easier than ever, and can be done via air, car or train! Driving to the popular Grand Strand is a tradition for many visitors, but if you’re simply planning a long weekend getaway, spontaneous shopping trip or golf with the guys, then arriving by air might be more your speed. Either way, make sure to visit our online map to navigate the Myrtle Beach area like a local once you’re here! Traveling by Air If you need to expedite your travel time to the Myrtle Beach area, there’s no better way to do it than to fly. Myrtle Beach International Airport and other area airports make it quick and easy working alongside such well-known carriers as Delta, Continental, Spirit, Northwest, United and US Airways. Make sure to check and see if your location flies to the Grand Strand. While Myrtle Beach International Airport serves as the commercial airport for the Grand Strand and offers service for private companies, there are several other local airports serving the private and corporate sectors. Once you’ve reached our shores via plane, transportation to your final destination is also made easy. Whether you’re seeking a rental car, taxi or limousine service, we make your vacation transportation hospitable and easy. Traveling by Car We want you to visit our breathtaking beaches so we’re working hard to expand roadways for travel to the Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina. A proposed Interstate 73 corridor would create a more direct route for visitors to reach the Grand Strand from states throughout the Midwest and Northeast, but has not yet been completed. If you’re curious how close you are to the Grand Strand with existing roadways, take a look at these cities and driving distances to provide a general idea.

Where to ‘Park It’ In the Myrtle Beach Area
March 1 marks the beginning of seasonal parking regulations on Ocean Boulevard. Parking is prohibited on the Boulevard from March 1 through September 30. Short-term parking has been extended to three hours, instead of two. Short-term meters are located mainly near the boardwalk/downtown area of Myrtle Beach. New, more-descriptive meter stickers will tell customers which meters offer all-day parking or short- term parking. The stickers also make clear that it costs just $6 to keep an all-day space. That $6 per day rate is comparable to, or better than, private parking fees. Currently, the parking meters are in effect from March 1
through September 30. Park by phone is also available in Myrtle Beach. Park by phone allows parkers to feed their meters via their cell phones, so they don’t need change. To use Park by phone, a parker simply calls the toll free number shown on the meter. Repeat users are recognized electronically, so that all they need to do is enter their meter number and the amount of time they wish to park. New users can register with their first call or do so online at parkmobile.com. Any parking charges are billed to a credit card along with a 35 cent per use fee. For more information on parking meters and pay stations visit CityOfMyrtleBeach.com/Meters.html. VisitMyrtleBeach.com

The park opened in 1935 and occupies 312 acres on the south end of Myrtle Beach. A quiet— and surprisingly green—escape from the otherwise bustling beach, Myrtle Beach State Park provides educational opportunities, a nature trail and some of the best surf fishing the state has to offer.
Sea-breeze camping, paramount surf fishing and some of the best bird-watching along the East Coast are only some of the many things that Huntington Beach State Park has to offer. Set on 2500 acres just south of Murrells Inlet, Huntington Beach State Park provides a sweeping, pristine and wide open stretch of Grand Strand coastline sure to please any visitor.
Throughout the summer, children’s programs are available that give young nature lovers a chance to learn more about dolphins, sea turtles and abundant flora and fauna that call the oceanfront park home. The park is among the area’s most popular campgrounds and provides guests with pier and shoreline access, along with cozy sites tucked away under shady trees. Cabins are also available to rent onsite, and pets are allowed in outdoor areas on a leash.

A Grand Strand Cultrual Experience Discover some the area’s best art, music and history While the Myrtle Beach area is no stranger to fine arts, music or rich history, new developments and area renovations now provide those looking to go ‘beyond the beach’ with more options. Several area museums showcase the destination’s diverse and interesting history, while the locally-loved Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum features rotating art exhibits and a fantastic permanent collection of antique maps, prints and local artworks. The performing arts shine along the Strand, as well, with the Long Bay Symphony presenting nearly 30 shows per year and the Carolina Master Chorale—an impressive 70-member community chorus—hosting show-stopping concerts throughout the area. Visitors wishing to do a little historical exploration could check out the Myrtle Beach Colored School that served African-American students in the Myrtle Beach area for more than 20 years. The building now serves as the Historic Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum and Education Center and provides a window to the area’s past and a doorway to the future. Located at 900 Dunbar Street in central Myrtle Beach, the historic school is open for tours from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Wednesday and from 1 to 4 p.m. on Thursday. On the south end of the Myrtle Beach area, another living history museum can be found at Freewoods Farm, where visitors experience life on an African-American owned farm.
