Things to do in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (SC): The Best Museums

May 28, 2021 Agatha Simes

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.

A Hidden Gem! Our Del Webb Community had a group outing private event for about 30 people - what a blast! Tried every machine - agreed with other reviewers Wizard of Oz, Kiss, Monopoly were my favs. Thought we would get bored after 30 min but 2 hours flew by. Best part is its nonprofit status and generous contributions to local charities. Give it a try!
