The beach The namesake of Myrtle Beach is, of course, the beach. During the high season the beach can be crowded and parking scarce. Staying at a beachfront hotel or within walking distance can make for a more pleasant visit. For those on a budget, however, don't fret - the beach is still basically public, although you may have to fight for a spot during the day. Never underestimate the beauty of the shoreline at sunrise, when the sands are basically abandoned, the temperature modest, and the seashells have yet to have been picked from the night before's wave crashes.
Broadway at the Beach - a huge cluster of bars, nightlife, shops, a movie theatre and even an aquarium that are located throughout 700,000 square feet, Broadway stands to be one of Myrtle Beach's more accessible attractions. It is the largest festival entertainment complex in South Carolina featuring theaters, 20 restaurants, over 100 specialty shops, 15 attractions, 11 night clubs, and 3 hotels. It's also crowded, although the Butterfly Pavilion is worth the admission. New additions in 2010 include restaurants and shops for sports, technology, and apparel. Some stores include Ron Jon Surf Shop, Sharkey's Bar & Grill, and XCell Wireless Technology and Accessories. Also announced, there is an addition of a zip line ride that will span 500 feet back and forth across the 23-acre Lake Broadway.
