Has anyone ever been attacked by a shark in Myrtle Beach? Are there Jelly Fish on the beach? Is there anywhere you can go scuba diving or swimming with the dolphins?
-- kayla lindsey - Monday, April 9, 2007 at 11:14:49

Editors Note:
-Sharks, don't know for sure, but there probably has been an occasional minor bite. Best advice anywhere, stay out of the water in early morning and late afternoon - they are feeding then and accidents happen. Don't wear shiny jewelry or bathing suits
-Jellyfish - as with most beaches they come ashore occasionally Usually
later in the summer. MSG works well if bitten
-Dolphins - no organized swims we are aware of, Dolphins have become more
and more protected over the years. However, you regularly see them near the
shoreline You may be able to find boats that go out on dolphin cruises

This is the very first time, my husband and I have been on vacation in more than 20 years. I would like to find something to do for the week of the 4th of July. We are both in our mid 40's and he does not Golf, nor do I. Because this is all new to us, we have no idea where to start looking. Give us as much information as you can handle. Where to eat, shop, play and sleep. In that order. We do not have to sleep close to the beach, as, we both have year round tans. Although, I need a little sun. PLease help out the Northerns from Pa. We do plan to drive.

Myrtle Beach:

  • Best hamburger and coldest beer at Hamburger Joes in N. Myrtle Beach.
  • Best local dinner for modest price was the Dockside in Calabash.
  • Best breakfast at local restaurant is a tie between Mama Jeans and Hoskins on the North end.
  • Best Fried Chicken is at Hoskins in town on Saturday nites. Also try Pat & Mikes in Little River. Always crowded but worth every wait.
    Friendliest and easiest place to play golf was at Eastport. Those people are great and since the course plays easy it is the best for couples, seniors and those just starting.
  • Best entertainment in Myrtle was at the Alabama Theatre. That cast puts there heart into every performance unlike the tired old performances you can find at other theatres, Grant Turner is a genius whose ability is somewhat held in check by constraints of the show. Kelly Cutts is extremely talented and gorgeous.
  • Best place to stay is anywhere in Little River. It is far enough from the hustle and still has the quiet feel of laid back S.Carolina yet near enough to get to the action in minutes. Places to stay in Little River are hard to find unless you want a stay of a month or longer. Most condo-owners associations have imposed minimum stay of 30 days. One such place is Spinnaker Cove. At one time one could rent a unit for minimum of a week. Condo-owners association composed of former members of the now defunct Nazi party have determined that weekly stays would bring in the rift-raff.

I would like to know what there is to do, such as swimming with the dolphins, riding get ski's, parasailing and some price quotes
-- sheena spradlin - Wednesday, June 9, 2004 at 23:31:17
Editor's Note: I believe that swimming with dolphins has been made illegal in South Carolina and many other states due to the concern for their safety and preservation. However, there are many boat trips that take you close to them and you will usually see them very close to shore while you are swimming in the ocean.

I am interested in things to do in and around the Myrtle Beach,S.C. area, that are affordable. Thank you, Sandy Montesi

Editors Note: Linda - The naturalists have started discouraging direct contact with the Dolphins and have stopped it altogether in Hilton Head and probably many other locations. I will say that we saw many, many dolphin in the surf right off the beach on our recent trip to Myrtle Beach. There are also several boat excursions that list dolphin watching.

My boyfriend and I went to Mrytle Beach after finals week and were in dire need of a vacation. One of the things that we enjoyed most was going to Broadway at the Beach at Build-a-Bear and making stuffed animals for each other that resembled our characterstics. We also enjoyed miniature golf at the Spy Glass where I nailed a whole in one in the last hole. The Spy Glass is very challenging.

A must "to do" while on vacation in Myrtle Beach is to go horseback riding on a private island along the beach in North Myrtle Beach. The place is called Inlet Point Plantation Stables and the phone number is 843-249-2989. I highly recommend to do this. It's simply amazing and was fun for our entire family.

We want to find out where the 'hotspots' are, where there are good night clubs to dance/party, and which beach is the best to visit and has the most people on it daily. Any information would be great. Thanks

My family has been going to North Myrtle and Mrytle beach ever since I was born. Normally we stay for a week. And we always go out to eat. The place we always visit is the Spring House. It was great and we all enjoyed it. And there are large proportions.

Could you please tell me if the Rockettes are planning to perform a Christmas show this year in Myrtle Beach? If so, please tell me where, when, and how to purchase tickets. I saw this show in Myrtle Beach a few years ago and was so impressed I want to see it again.

This will be our third time to vacation in Myrtle Beach. The first time we stopped on our way to Disney World. That was in 1995. We came back again in 1999. And now we are making plans again for 2001. We are campers so we haul our travel trailer about 750 miles. Each time we stay at OCEAN LAKES FAMILY CAMPGROUND. We love it at Ocean Lakes. It is a big campground - over 300 acres. And they have tons of activities: Olympic size outdoor pool, indoor pool, miniature golf, basketball court, sand volleyball, play-grounds, fishing lakes, arcade, beautiful observation deck and of course, the ocean. The campground is clean, the restrooms are kept nice, and the staff is friendly. I recommend this campground with high marks. I can hardly wait until summer. We've been to the Alabama Theatre - excellent show. The Medieval Times is great. Dick's Last Resort is a real experience. Basically we stay at the campground though and relax a lot.

My family & I were planning on going to North or South Myrtle Beach for a week this year and we were wondering if there is a prime time of the year to find lots of seashells washed up on the beach. Can anyone let us know? Thanx!!

My husband and I (we are in our mid 50's) and out grandaughters ages 15 and 9 make an annual visit to Myrtle Beach and we stay at LAKEWOOD CAMPGROUND and enjoy it VERY much. It is a great family oriented park and they have many planned activities for all to enjoy. There are golf carts to rent but that must be planned in advance and paid for in advance. We find that shopping at BROADWAY AT THE BEACH is fun and our favorite eatery is the SEAFARE in Murrells Inlet. A little on the pricey side but you have an 80 item buffet all you care to eat. And about any dessert you can think of. We spend most of our time in the campground enjoying the activities and the beach. We also thought that the AQUARIUM was great too. We will venture out somemore this upcoming trip as the girls have not been to the PAVILLION area yet and that is on our list of to do's this year. Also found the KLIG"S KITE stores a nice place to spend some time. Just wanted to share some of out experiences with other campers and folks going to Myrtle Beach for their first time. We are always at the beach the week prior to the 4th and over the 4th holiday. It is crowded but still alot of fun. Sharon Johnston

6/8/99 We just returned from Mrytle Beach after spending a week camping. We enjoyed Lakewood Campground (great pool), rented a car from Thrifty (which they picked us up and bought us back to the campgrd ), and really loved Broadway on the Beach. Broadway had everything to do there, especially the dining and nightclub spots. Also we went to the Dixie Stampede, great fun for the price and went to two tapings of the Crook and Chase show at their theatre. The tickets were inexpensive (10) and the taping was fun and entertaining. More info check the Crook and Chase site on the web. We loved Mrytle Beach and will return again.........

First time to Myrtle Beach (April 8th - 11th, 1999) HERE IS MY EXPERIENCE WITH MYRTLE BEACH (A LITTLE LONG BUT INFORMATIVE) I wanted to fill this out because I read these travelogues while planning my stay which I feel helped me........ My girlfriend and I decided to spend a few days in Myrtle Beach the Sunday before. We chose it becuase the forecast (www.weather.com) was to be nice that weekend. Since neither of had stayed there I spent several hours on Monday on the internet at http://www.segetaway.com/MyrtleBeach/LodgingList.html looking for nice places to stay. We wanted to be on the beach and becuase it was a last minute vacation which needed to planned inside a day, we decided to stay at a resort hotel since I felt would be easiest. After reading several horror stories of some old worn out resorts on the Grand Strand, I reasoned the newer a place was (no matter how it was run) would be good since I was more worried of staying in a run down place than bad service. I started calling all the resorts I found on the logging web page and ended up accidentally talking to a Myrtle Beach travel agent who lives in the area. She also recommended staying at a newer place since they would probably be the most decent as far as cleanliness. In particular, the resorts she recommended to me were the Yachtsman (probably the nicest on the Grand Strand), The Coral Beach, The SandCaslte South, and the The Crwon Reef. Of these, the place that had a vacancy and looked most appealing to me was the SandCastle South (there is a SandCastle resort that is located north of central Myrtle Beach whereas the SandCastle South is two miles south.)It also happended to be the newest resort hotel on the Grand Strand. The travel agent I talked to told me it had been open for only a year and I called the SandCastle twice to talk to two different receptionists who also both told me it had been open for only a year. In addition, they both told me all construction was complete (so there wouldn't be any half complete swimming pools or construction mess). THE SANDCASTLE SOUTH IS A VERY NICE RESORT HOTEL. It has an outdoor swimming pool, lazy river(heated), and two hot tubs(whirlpools) that are hot!! There is also a heated indoor pool and kids wadding pool. The place was immaculate. We were there near the last part of the yearly spring break legacy so the city and the beach were full. The SandCastle Resort had no vacancy but there was still plenty of room around the pool and on the beach. OUR ROOM WAS VERY NICE. IT WAS CLEAN AND WELL FURNISHED; EVERYTHING WAS BRAND NEW. TWO NICE TV'S, 3 QUEEN SIZE BEDS, A FULL SIZE REFRIGERATOR, 4 BURNER STOVE, POTS AND PANS, KITCHEN UTENSILS, AND A VERY LARGE MICROWAVE, AND EACH ROOM HAS TWO OF IT'S OWN A/C AND HEATERS WHICH YOU CONTROL (and no I don't have an investment in the resort). Generally speaking, the resorts closest to central Myrtle Beach (which I call the Pavillion Amusement Part area) are older or much more run down because they have been there for so long. They are probably cheaper would explain why there was such a large concentration of teeny boppers in that area. There are tons of places to stay in Myrtle Beach. There are also some very nice national chain hotels within a mile from the beach (like the Hampton Inn on R17). If I were to go back to Myrtle Beach and wanted to stay on the beach I would look into renting a condo (there are just tons of them in between the resort hotels and they looked pretty nice). If I were to stay in a resort hotel, I would try The Crown Reef. It is huge and very elegant. One day while walking on the beach behind it, my girlfriend and I walked up into their patio pool area and it was nice! It was just as clean as the SandCastle South, just bigger and more elegant. A big plus about staying at the SandCastle South or the Crown Reef is that they are about 2.5 miles south of central Myrtle Beach where all the older, cheaper places are which is where the concentration of youths hang out. I don't know if it was becuase we were there during the spring break season but at 3 o'clock in the morning, there had to be a thousand or more teenagers walking and driving up and down ocean blvd. everynight. It was a big crusing scene where a mile of "decked out" cars would slowly drive up and back the Pavillion Area playing loud rap music. I would have hated staying in a resort in that area. The Yachtsman looked like a really nice place, but it is in the heart of that mess. We didn't find the attractions in the Pavillion Area worth stopping for. We did vist Ripley's Believe It or Not which we didn't care much for either. Atleast not what we payed to get in. THE BEST ATTRACTION AT MYRTLE BEACH IS BROADWAY AT THE BEACH. Lots of good restaurants, little unique shops, as well as Ripley's Aquarium and the IMEX Theatre. We thought Ripley's Aquarium was the neatest attraction in the city (it has a huge tank that you walk under which contains 6 or more adult sharks!!!) and an area that allows you to touch sting rays, skates, and baby sharks. IF YOU GO TO MYRTLE BEACH, GO TO RIPPLEY'S AQUARIUM. The IMEX theatre was also worth visiting but being from Cincinnati where we have an IMAX theatre (similar to the IMEX but bigger and better) it wasn't as impressive as the aquarium. BAREFOOT LANDING is also worth visiting (no you don't walk around barefoot on sand or anything - it's just a name) and is similar to BroadWay at the Beach but not nearly as large or elegant. YOU COULD EASILY SPEND AN ENTIRE DAY AT BROADWAY AT THE BEACH!!!! NEGATIVES ABOUT MYRTLE BEACH - There were too many teenagers that played loud music and drove like complete idiots. The people there we felt were generally arrogant and traffic was often at a standstill (except farther south where we were staying). There didn't seem like there were as many police as there should have been. There is a restaurant on every corner and it was nearly impossible to go to one during the dinner hours without having to wait half and hour. Make reservations if you can. Also, check around and see if people recommend a place that has good food. We didn't have a good dinner any night we were there. I'm sure there is good food in Myrtle Beach, you just need to find it. The beach was very shelly, meaning you needed some sort of sandle to get out past the first fifteen feet without saying several four letter words. PARKING GARAGES AT THE RESORTS ARE TIGHT!!! The garage at the SandCastle South had more than enough spaces, they were just small as well as the garage itself. The other resort's garage's looked cramped as well. Try not to plan on bringing your biggest vehicle if you are parking in a resort hotel!!! POSITIVES ABOUT MYRTLE BEACH - It is a close Florida!!! Prices for everything was very reasonable. Despite all the shells on the beach, it is still a nice beach. Good surf if you like the waves. The sun was very warm and the weather was beautifull. An absolute ton of plays to swing golf clubs and lots of places to play miniature golf. There is alot to do in Myrtle Beach and would be a great spot for a family vacation. I would enjoy going back to Myrtle Beach Again!!!!!!!!

During August of 1998, My friends Heather, Ashleigh, and I went to a Third Eye Blind Concert at the House of Blues. Before going there however, we had a delightful dinner at Dick's Last Resort. The waiters were very interesting and one of them even gave my friend Heather their phone number. From there we went to the concert which was a lot of fun. Ashleigh got a taste of crowd surfing, and afterwards we got to meet the band. It was a great experience and I'm hoping to go back to Myrtle Beach in the Summer of 1999.

Hi I've been living in myrtle beach for 12 years now (or most of it) and Myrtle Beach is definitely, without a doubt, the best place to vacation to. The parks are incredible, so are the nightclubs, especially the Pavilion, 2001, oh the list goes on and on. For adult nightlife, dancing, and such you MUST go to 2001, a nightclub in North Myrtle Beach near Ultrazone Lazer Tag. For family fun, the BEST place in the entire tri-county area is Paradise Skating Rink, located next to the SuperWalmart. This may not seem like relative information to you, but there is only 1 walmart in myrtle beach, 1 in north myrtle beach, you figure it out. I can't stop myself when I go on and on about Myrtle Beach. If you are looking for shopping, DO NOT go to Barefoot Landing ($$$$!) though their theme is pretty nice- GO TO BROADWAY AT THE BEACH!!!!! This is the best part of Myrtle Beach; at one end you have IMAX, a movie theater with a 6 story screen, across from IMAX (a hop skip and a jump, literally. No cars in this zone allowed!) is a Putt-putt course that has it's own GIANT FIRE BREATHING dragon, Every tuesday they have a HUGE fireworks show, also Ripley's Aquarium (simply the best...period.) which has an entire mile of underwater tubing that you can see exotic aquatic life- AHHH! I can't stop typing! And there's a Hard Rock Cafe, a giant nightclub center called Celebrity Square, over 200 shops, and this is all at broadway at the beach! Next to broadway is THe Palace, Nascar Speed park (a themepark), Nascar Cafe, All-Star Cafe, Myrtle Square Mall, Myrtle Beach Convention Center, 2 Shopping centers, Barnes and Nobles Superstore, Toys R Us superstore. Well my hands are tired so I'll stop now. Thank you CP

Myrtle Beach is amazing. There is SO much to do. I have to say that I think that one of the best things is just laying on the beach. It's so relaxing. And in my case...you may even meet someone really special. I went in the summer of 98. The Pavilion was a blast! We spent two evenings there...and we still didn't ride or see everything. A really good place to eat is Crabby Mike's!! I could go on forever and ever about how wonderful Myrtle Beach is....but you have to go to experience it for yourself. I loved it so much...I am using it as persuasive speech in one of my college courses!

OUr first family visit to myrtle beach was my first visit and that was in 1995. We had a wonderful time. I grew up in North Carolina and the beaches there then I moved to Md. Had not been down south for al least 14 years. Loved MB as soon as we arrived. One word of warning do not stay at the SeaMist. That was horrible. Ugly rooms, noise that security would not do anything about and so on. Our last visit we stayed at the Sand Dunes-very nice especially if you have children. The kids club gives parents a chance to relax!! The best places to visit in our opoinion is Barefoot Landing, Alabama Theater, Broadway at the beach and the NASCAR Cafe! Oh and for those of you who have ever been a server in a restaraunt you have got to go to DICK's Last Resort to eat, do not expect polite service or fancy dishes, this is the place for those who like to have fun and have a good sence of humor! For those of you that love seafood go to Benjamins Calabash so much food so little time! And the prices are great (compared to prices in Maryland and surrounding areas). I was so impressed with the area and the people that in a couple of years we will be moving there. July of this year (1999) will be our third trip and I can't wait and neither can our kids ages 9 & 4! Look out Mrytle Beach here we come again!

3DWell I am a 15/f, I live in West Virginia and every year we make the 8 hour trip to Myrtle Beach. I have been going to MB since I was 2, the drive isn't very bad. Once we arive and get the key to our condo, we usually stay at Pelican's Landing, we go settle in the go to Captian Benjamines for dinner. We usually eat there at least 5 out of the 7 days we are there. One of our favorite things to do is head over to the outlet malls on 501 or Barefoot Landing. The putt putts are very entertaining, there is a wide varity to choose from. If it happens to rain one evening and we can't go for a walk on the beach we head over to the Briacliffe Mall and catch a movie. As always we will be going to MB again this year ( June 26-July 3 ). Our condo is located right across from Ocean Annies, for those of you who know where that is. I visited the Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood, and needless to say I was not impressed at all. The crowds were awful as were the prices. My alltime favorite thing would have to be Dixie Stamped or The Gatlin Brothers, both very entertaining! One wonderful thing about this years trip is I will be 16 and be able to go crusin' around without my parents and I can go check out things more to my liking. If you want any info about MB feel Free to E-mail me at,  See ya at the B*E*A*C*H!=20

I've been to Myrtle Beach 24 times in my 22 years of life.This year will be the fist time with my daughter and husband. We are staying at the Dayton House Best Western. I've stayed there a few times and always had a nice clean room and the staff was friendly (even to a teenager!) I also really enjoy the Carolina Opry for excellent entertainment.

Our family visited Mrytle Beach July 1995. We stayed at a 2 bedroom townshouse owned by some friends of ours. It was great. We are going back this year 7/17/99. While we are there we will be looking for a condo to invest in. This is the place we have chosen to retire at when we reach retirement age. Our teenage sons said to make sure you check out Wild Water and Wheels water park. They had a blast there. Also, to make sure you purchase a boogy board for the ocean. They also enjoyed that. If anyone knows of any condo's to rent in the Deerfield Plantation Complex Surfside Beach area we are looing for 2 more condos that have 2/bedrooms for family members who also want to go with us when we go in July 99. Please e-mail to my e-mail address. Thank you.
