As Good as It Gets
Myrtle Beach is not just the beach anymore… even the shag palaces with their beach music and shag dancing are only a small part of this entertaining puzzle called Myrtle Beach. In fact, this now famous realm of the eastern coast is rapidly becoming the entertainment center of the East, already referred to by many as "the Branson of the South". Along with this new moniker comes the addition of several live musical theaters featuring variety shows, country music and dance. This wide variety of family entertainment regularly features a wide variety of celebrity artists and the Alabama Theatre, the Palace Theatre, House of Blues, Carolina Opry, Dixie Stampede, Legends in Concert, Fantasy Harbor and Broadway at the Beach all call Myrtle Beach…home.
In addition to the many outstanding theaters, visitors also enjoy the many waterparks, miniature golf courses, amusement parks and attractions such as “Ghosts and Legends” or the reptile capital of the world, “Alligator Adventure.” The Grand Strand also boasts many fishing piers and charter fishing fleets for fishermen round the world and at night, doors open to superclubs like Kryptonite and numerous nightclubs, including under 21 dance clubs where you can dance and listen to both live and recorded music.
