Thanks!!!

Piperlu lives in Myrtle Beach. I'll bet she could give you ideas. I live an hour away and go down there often. You'll find every restaurant imaginable.

For activities, besides the beach, there's the new Hard Rock Park--mixed reviews and a steep entrance fee ($50). Broadway at the Beach is a mix of attractions and shops. There's a large Outlet mall (Tanger). Barefoot Landing in N. Myrtle Beach has several shops and is close to a couple large shows--Alabama theater, and another that I can't recall. The Greg Norman restaurant there is excellent. Just south of MB is Brookgreen Gardens, a lovely botanical park.

I'm sure there is a visitors website with tons of info--they take their tourism seriously in SC.

Oh, how could I forget the golf! Do you golf? There are more golf courses there than any place I've seen.

Thanks a lot for the great info! I was looking at that Hard Rock Park and it seems to look really nice but the $50.00 a person is veryyyyy steep! How is the Nascar park and resturaunt? And is Ripley's aquarium,museum,haunted adventure, and moving theatre worth a visit?

we want to go on a 1/2 day night fishing trip here are the 2 places we decided upon Hurricane Fleet and Little River Fishing Fleet.... which one is better upon experience

piperlu · Jun 23rd, 2008, 04:25 PM

Pat is correct, there are tons of golf courses here as well as tons of restaurants.

I have heard of the name of the hotel that you're staying in, but I don't know anything about it.

Here are some of the highlights and feel free to pm me if you need directions to anything.

Shows (I have been to all of these)
Alabama Theatre
Dixie Stampede (Dolly Parton's place)-they serve dinner too
Carolina Opry
Palace Theatre
Medieval Times - they serve dinner too

Shopping (nothing high end)
Tanger Outlets - there are 2 (1 in N. Myrtle Beach and one Myrtle Beach on #501).
Coastal Grande Mall
Colonial Mall
The Market Common - this is new, but I wasn't overly impressed.
Barefoot Landing - several little shops, just across in N. Myrtle Beach
Broadway at the Beach - several little shops, restaurants and bars located in Myrtle Beach.

Hard Rock Theme Park just opened, but I haven't been there yet.

Alligator Adventure - they have different animals. I have been to this as well. I have taken family there. It's okay, but a little pricey.

There are a few water parks here as well, if you're interested in that.

Some good restaurants
Rioz - Brazilian Steak House
Ruth's Chris - Steak House
Collector's Cafe
Thoroughbred's
The Melting Pot
Landry's
Liberty Steak House
Liberty Bar and Tap Grill
Tripp's
Rossi's
Carolina Roadhouse
California Dreaming
Burro Loco's

We have all the usual other restaurants, Max and Erma's, Gordon Biersch, Fuddrucker's, River City Cafe, Red Robbins, Friendly's, Steak and Shake. Tons of fast food places.

Lots of things on the beach. Jet Ski's, para-sailing, banana boat rides, wave runners.

I'm probably leaving out plenty. Just the site for Myrtle Beach vacationers and let me know if I can help with anything else.

Have a great time..

thanks!

I have a coupon for myrtle beach watersports. What is their 1/2 hour and hour rates for a jet ski? Also where do they have you jet ski? in the ocean or not. THANKS! :)

piperlu · Jun 25th, 2008, 04:39 PM

The Jet Ski's are in the ocean. Not sure of their rates. You can rent Wave Runners and use them in the waterway. Just be careful not to get in the wake of any other ongoing boats.

Also, the Nascar Restaurant is pretty good. I've only had salads from there, but they were always good. Everyone in our group liked it too. BTW, we're not NASCAR fans, and it's very Nascary in there. LOL The server's use that lingo and obviously their TV's features races. But, we go for the good and we used to live near there.

The Ripley's Aquarium is very nice. That place is fun for adults and kids. There is a restaurant and gift shop there as well. They have a cool overhead aqauarium that you walk under. Sometimes, you can see the sharks just laying across the bottom of it. They have a sting ray petting area. That's neat too.

Also, there is a House of Blues in North Myrtle. Not sure who is playing that week, but you can check the HOB website.

ok thanks a lot!

Debbie, you should work for the Visitor's Bureau. You know everything! I've driven by most attractions but I'm usually down there to shop for things our rural NC county doesn't have.
