Attractions

The Grand Strand offers residents such a diverse range of exciting activities that you’ll never run out of things to do. You can walk and talk with the animals, experience heartpounding water park slides, parasail over the blue Atlantic Ocean, play a round of miniature golf, or cruise the Intracoastal Waterway on Jet Skis. If you’re feeling adventurous, you may charter a sailboat or take a deep sea fishing trip to the Gulf Stream. If that’s a little too much adventure, drop a line from one of our local fishing piers.

Home to more than 100 courses, the Grand Strand is a golfer’s paradise. And, baseball fans will not be disappointed with our hometown team, The Myrtle Beach Pelicans, an Atlanta Braves Carolina League Class-A affiliate. The Myrtle Beach area offers a little something for everyone, and more importantly, provides experiences the whole family can enjoy.

Whether you feel like dancing, catching a stand-up comedy act or listening to handclapping, foot-stomping music at one of our world-class entertainment centers, you’ll find endless choices for a perfect evening. And of course, you’ll want to drop by a nightspot where the shag is the dance of choice. The shag is the official state dance of South Carolina, and it’s as much a part of our culture as grits or sweet iced tea.

There’s fun to be found along the Grand Strand. Enjoy!

The only show to receive every top tourism award and the only show that has been voted the #1 show for 24 years straight. There are two things that you have to see when you come to the Grand Strand: the ocean, and The Carolina Opry. It’s that simple.

The New York Times calls it “A hit with visitors,” The New York Post calls it “A Hot Ticket” and USA Today reports it “A Big Hit.” The awardwinning show blends two hours of critically acclaimed music, comedy and dance – from Broadway to country, from classic pop to rock’n roll, and gospel to bluegrass.

Take a Stroll on Myrtle Beach’s New

Oceanfront Boardwalk

Myrtle Beach’s new oceanfront boardwalk is open and ready for your strolling enjoyment. The $6 million promenade stretches 1.2 miles along the oceanfront, from the 14th Avenue Pier to the Second Avenue Pier. Visitors and residents alike are enjoying the beautiful views and peaceful settings, as well as the nearby restaurants, shops and amusements.

The boardwalk features three distinct sections of varying widths and designs. The northern section is a traditional raised boardwalk following a serpentine line across the dunes, with connecting pathways to beach access points. This section runs from the 14th Avenue Pier to Plyler Park.

30 • Check out our e-book @ www.strandmagazine.com

The middle section begins at Plyler Park and extends south to Eighth Avenue North, adjacent to beachfront eateries, shops and arcades. Here you’ll find a wide wooden walkway with benches and sidewalk cafes. Six large United States flags wave proudly in the ocean breeze at the boardwalk’s widest point.

Strollers can enjoy the sights on the beach, which is just an easy walk away.

The southern section, from Eighth Avenue North to the soon-to-be-renovated Second Avenue Pier, is a winding promenade among the dunes, with benches and natural landscaping. This is a peaceful, linear park, with the ocean scenery on one side and nearby hotels on the other. Three vendor stands

600 new palmetto trees around it, along with 50,000 beach grass seedlings planted on the adjacent dunes.

Now, with the boardwalk a reality, the finished project is drawing rave reviews from visitors, residents and Ocean Boulevard merchants. It may be brand-new, but already the oceanfront boardwalk is an icon for downtown Myrtle Beach and a must-see destination. in this section will offer treats for hungry or thirsty strollers and beach-goers.

The new oceanfront boardwalk was on the drawing board for about five years before the City of Myrtle Beach finalized the funding and approved construction.

Building the boardwalk took nine months and lots of lumber. In all, the project required 770,000 board-feet of lumber, 270,000 nails, 555,000 screws, 10,000 bolts and about 57,000 man-hours. The boardwalk also has 31

In addition to great food, many of our restaurants offer a feast for all of your senses with spectacular waterfront views of the Atlantic and relaxed dockside dining while fishing boats come in with the day’s catch.

Dockside Seafood House

9955 Nance Road, Calabash, NC • 910-579-6775 Formerly a fishing village, picturesque Calabash calls itself “The Seafood Capital of the World.” Seafood, cornmeal battered and fried to crispy perfection, is the signature cooking style of the area. And, don’t forget the hushpuppies!

For more than 50 years, Dockside Seafood Restaurant has been the scene of traditional Calabash cooking. Family owned and operated, four generations of employees have perfected the art of preparing your favorite platters of shrimp, oysters, flounder and scallops.

Loyal customers flock to Dockside year after year, and families and photographers take advantage of the famous century old live oak tree outside. Dockside welcomes you to join them.

Enjoy seafood at its finest while watching fishing boats sail by the scenic dining room windows, and, after dinner, be sure and take a stroll on the our 300 ft. dock. Map #19

Our customers relax and dine in a casual atmosphere that can best be described as one of “rustic elegance.” The owner’s love of the outdoors is evident throughout with some of the finest “blue ribbon” taxidermy and wildlife artwork in the southeast. Three fireplaces, a comfortable library and a view of the Intracoastal Waterway make Chuck’s Steak House a tradition and a destination year after year. Reservations are accepted but not necessary. Children’s and Senior Citizen’s menus are available. Open 7 days a week. Happy hour in the lounge nightly from 4 to 7pm. Dinner is served from 5pm.
