The 10 Best Things to do in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (SC)
Myrtle Beach is all at once a spring break destination, golfing destination, retirement community, and family vacation spot. Take in a foot-stomping show at the Carolina Opry, or cheer on your favorite knight at Medieval Times. Mingle with the fishermen of Springmaid Pier, then stop for ice cream along the boardwalk. Shop and dine at one of the area’s many outdoor entertainment complexes, or simply explore the many beaches of the Grand Strand – all with a personality of their own.

Broadway at the Beach, South Carolina's favorite Travel Destination and the largest entertainment venue of its kind in the state features unique specialty shops, exceptional dining, award-winning attractions, fabulous nightlife and relaxing accommodations, all surrounding the magnificent Lake Broadway.
Reviewed By U2055JJjamesb - Raleigh, United States
Broadway at the Beach is a very large shopping and entertainment complex with dozens of choices surrounding several small lakes where you can even feed the fish. Much of the complex is set up for families with kids so be sure to bring a stroller if needed as the whole circular route is about a 1.5 mile loop, but there are bridges and decks crossing the lakes at midpoint so if a shorter walk is desired that's no probkem.

What better way to spend a summer day than to go to the ball park with family or friends. The Chicago Cubs' farm team, The Pelicans, are a terrific group of players to watch for a perfect outing. Not sure there is a bad seat in the house but we always try to sit along the 1st base or 3rd base lines or even behind the plate for excellent viewing. You can be in the first couple of rows for just $13.00 and be near enough to hear the players chatting or to see them warming up .... you are up close and personal. Foul balls are plentiful so there are plenty of chances to catch one or just join in the fun. Ball park food is good and lots of varieties like Philly Cheesesteak, burgers, franks, and kielbasa; of course, there is plenty of beer and other cold drinks and at reasonable prices. You can even treat yourself to Dip-n-Dots.

Create unforgettable memories while enjoying 60-miles of wide, soft sandy beach. Be sure to bring your beach towels, a sheet and/or beach chairs before you get here so you don't have to rent them. Wake up early in the morning, run along the ocean shore and take in the fresh air. It's good for your body, mind and soul! Want to sleep in? Grab a chair, sit down, let your toes sink into the soft sand and just relax in the afternoon while listening to waves rolling in.
