Local Attractions
Local Attractions:
If there's one thing a Myrtle Beach area vacation guarantees, it's FUN. A relaxing day on the beach, a challenging golf game, an all-day shopping spree – these and other activities are fine. But when the Grand Strand is your vacation destination, playtime is a priority. And the Myrtle Beach area has lots of playthings. From whooshing water slides and revved-up racecars to plunging roller coasters and amazing mini-golf courses. From an awesome aquarium and a lush Lowcountry sculpture garden to two sprawling entertainment/dining/shopping complexes. From sailboats, banana boats, and kayaks to scenic parasailing and riverboat rides. The fun never ends! The tough part is finding time for all the fun things you want to do.
For families visiting the Myrtle Beach area, "going to the rides" is always high on the to-do list. This tradition started back in 1949 with the opening of the Myrtle Beach Pavilion Amusement Park, home of a historic Herschell-Spillman carousel and German band organ. Today, this 11-acre playground by the sea offers nearly 40 exciting rides for all ages. Other parks also have become Grand Strand staples, including Family Kingdom Amusement & Water Park, featuring the legendary Swamp Fox roller coaster and the area's only oceanfront water park, and smaller parks like Southbeach Kidventure. Added to the mix are dozens of arcades, where high-tech "virtual reality" games share space with old favorites like Skeeball and pinball.
Racecar-driver wannabes can satisfy their need for speed at NASCAR SpeedPark, Myrtle Beach Grand Prix Family Thrill Park, or Beach Motorsports. And the best place to cool off on a hot summer day is a water park, such as Wild Water Water & Race Park and Myrtle Waves.
You'll also want to work in a day or night at Barefoot Landing (where you'll find Alligator Adventure, a rock-climbing wall, a motion simulator, river cruises, and more) and Broadway at the Beach (where you can take a spin in Carousel Park, explore Pirates of the Carolinas, visit award-winning Ripley's Aquarium, and enjoy numerous other activities).
Myrtle Beach's Ocean Boulevard is full of fun spots, including creepy haunted houses and the unbelievable Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum. Regardless of where you roam, you're not far from a fantastic miniature golf course. That's because they have nearly 50!
Many attractions are educational, too – like the Children's Museum of South Carolina, Born in the Carolinas Museum, and world-famous Brookgreen Gardens. Naturally, you can't fully enjoy a Grand Strand vacation without spending time on the water. Here, you'll find every type of water adventure imaginable – whether you rent a sailboat, Jet ski, or other vessel, explore inland waters on a riverboat, or parasail high above the Atlantic Ocean.

History of the Area
History of the Area:
Native Americans
Before Europeans arrived on the coast of South Carolina, Native Americans were the sole residents, and they lived off the land and the bounty of the local waters. They were the Waccamaw and Winyah Indians, and they called the area "Chicora," which means "the land." Although documented history of these tribes is scarce, evidence of their existence continues to turn up. Arrowheads have been found on the beach, riverbanks, and in farmers' fields. A burial mound was discovered on Waites Island near Little River. The remains of an Indian village were unearthed on Wachesaw Plantation near Murrells Inlet, including pottery shards, tools, and other artifacts. At the Horry County Museum in Conway, several exhibits shed light on what life was like for these early residents.
Georgetown County
With the passing of centuries and the arrival of Europeans, the population and landscape began to change. English colonists laid out plans for Georgetown, the state's third oldest city, in 1730. Surrounded by rivers and marshlands, Georgetown became the center of America's rice empire. Crops of indigo, cotton, and lumber also contributed to the wealthy economy. A rich plantation culture took root here and flourished, in no small measure as a result of the diligence and manpower of African slaves, many with first-hand knowledge of rice cultivation from their homelands.
Before the Civil War, wealthy plantation owners turned Pawleys Island into one of the first summer resorts on the Atlantic coast. Planters and their families spent summers on the cool, breezy island to avoid malaria and other deadly diseases associated with the more swampy, still conditions of the plantation sites. Historic cottages, inns, and other buildings still stand on Pawleys Island.
After the Civil War and the emancipation of slaves, Georgetown's rice plantation culture disappeared, leaving behind a rich history and culture that residents hold dear. Hopsewee and other historic plantations, Georgetown's Rice Museum, and Brookgreen Gardens offer glimpses into Georgetown's past. The Georgetown Historic District, with its historic churches and homes, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Horry County
Horry County (pronounced "oh-ree" or "or-ee"), bounded by rivers on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, was cut off from the plantation culture that flourished elsewhere along the coast. Horry residents, in what is now the Conway area, were hardworking farmers, timbermen, and turpentine distillers who bartered for their necessities. A typical family in 1875 earned approximately $2.50 a year in what was nearly a cashless economy.
Until the 1900s, bridges and railroads from Conway to the beaches did not exist; only struggling farmers and fishermen inhabited these distant beaches. Eventually, in pursuit of summer recreation, families from Conway were ferried across the Waccamaw River and rode in wagons from the river to the beach
Bridge to the Beach
In 1900, Burroughs & Collins Company, a timber-turpentine firm with extensive beachfront holdings, began developing the resort potential of the Grand Strand by constructing a railroad to the beach. The company built the first hotel, the Seaside Inn, in 1901. At that time, oceanfront lots sold for $25 to those with ready cash. (Less affluent individuals could purchase a lot one row back and pay in yearly installments of $2.50.) Buyers received an extra lot free if they built a home valued at $500 or more. Mrs. F.E. Burroughs, wife of the founder of the Burroughs & Collins Company, hosted (and won) a contest to name the town. Myrtle Beach was chosen because of the many wax myrtle trees growing wild along the shore.
In 1912, Chicago businessman Simeon B. Chapin purchased property and invested capital in the town's development. Myrtle Beach's public park and adjacent library are named for him. Another landmark bearing his name is the Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum.
A Resort is Born
In the 1920s, a group of businessmen built an upscale resort called Arcady at the north end of the community. The legendary resort was the rage among affluent society and included the present Pine Lakes International Country Club, the area's first golf club (and birthplace of the magazine Sports Illustrated), and the grand Ocean Forest Hotel. The Ocean Forest, with its 300 rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, health club, stables, and crystal chandeliers, remained the center of Myrtle Beach social life for nearly 30 years. The stately building was torn down in 1974 to allow for new development.
The Intracoastal Waterway was opened to pleasure boats and commercial shipping in 1936, and Myrtle Beach was incorporated in 1938. The Myrtle Beach Air Force Base was established in the 1940s and used for coastal patrols during World War II. The Myrtle Beach Pavilion opened in 1949 and continues to delight families year after year. Hurricanes have always played a crucial role in Myrtle Beach area history and development. In 1954, Hurricane Hazel demolished buildings and trees all along the Strand and, consequently, cleared the way for newer, larger hotels and homes.
Golf & Building Boom
During the 1960s, a golf boom began in which new courses were opened nearly every year. Today, the Grand Strand boasts more than 120 golf courses. In the 1970s and '80s, construction of attractions, homes, retail shops, and other developments increased steadily, triggering another boom in the early '90s that resulted in the Myrtle Beach area becoming one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the country. Phenomenal expansion and development have contributed to the Grand Strand's national reputation as a year-round resort, with numerous hotels, golf courses, restaurants, theaters, entertainment/shopping complexes, and attractions. Each year, nearly 14 million visitors come to the Grand Strand, and thousands of new residents relocate to the area.
