The Beach

Esports is one of the fastest-growing areas of the sporting industry and Myrtle Beach is dedicated to becoming a place where gamers can come to enjoy some intense competition and still kick back and relax with 60 miles of beaches, 2,000+ restaurants and endless opportunities for offline fun.

Visit Myrtle Beach and the Myrtle Beach Regional Sports Alliance have worked hard to support the Esports industry in recent years through sponsorship of events, involvement with college tournaments and eNASCAR competitions and investment in the research and preparation it takes to get our venues ready to host top-notch events in the Esports industry. Here are some of the many facilities we have that are ready to host your next Esports event:
