Myrtle Beach Off-Season Attractions


Seasoned snowbirds and off-season holiday visitors alike are often curious about what the beach has to offer after the prime beach season has passed. Well, rest assured that despite the drop in tourism, the beach still offers plenty of attractions to keep you busy. Our Myrtle Beach accommodations are at the center of all the fun! Here are a few of our guests’ favorite off-season Myrtle Beach attractions:



Myrtle Beach Boardwalk – Located just a short drive south of Ocean Creek, the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is a great place for an afternoon stroll or exciting night out on the town. This oceanfront stretch is just over a mile long and runs right through the bustling downtown area. Enjoy downtown live entertainment and events, attractions, arcades, dining, and so much more! Not to mention the killer oceanfront views. Just head to the boardwalk to see what all the buzz is about.



Alabama Theatre – Colorful costumes, elaborate props, and energetic live performances are just a few things that guests can look forward to at the Alabama Theatre. This popular venue is located right across the street at Barefoot Landing and offers several shows throughout the year, including an exciting Christmas production during the holiday season. Other off-season shows include “One The Show” and several guest appearances. Call (843) 272-1111 for more information.



Hollywood Wax Museum – New to the area for the 2014 season, the Hollywood Wax Museum provides a fresh, different experience for all of our area visitors. The attraction itself is actually home to three different attractions that can be enjoyed all at once or individually. The wax museum, the largest of the three, is home to all of your favorite idols. Other attractions here include Hannah’s Hall of Mirrors and Breakout – a Zombie Apocalypse experience. Call (843) 444-0091 for more information.
