Myrtle Beach Area Entertainment

Over the past twenty years, the Grand Strand's entertainment industry has undergone an amazing transformation. Gone are the days when vacationers to the area had just a handful of attractions to choose from, and the only "live" entertainment would be the occasional beach music band appearing in one of the clubs in North Myrtle Beach. As the years passed and the theaters were built, live entertainment not only brought a new angle to our area, but also has become one of the most popular vacation activities on the Strand...year-round.

In addition, the Myrtle Beach area amusement venues have grown tremedously and offer a wide variety of activities for all ages. Following is a list of our favorites...
