Enjoy Myrtle Beach Aura

The right time to enjoy the aura of Myrtle Beach on a day that is cold, or rainy, or both, you can see a show. The Carolina Opry offers a spectacular Christmas Special that combines a live country music variety show with a skilled cast of actors to create a hilariously entertaining presentation. Order tickets ahead of time online to get a discount. Stroll over to Crocodile Rocks dueling piano bar to watch the piano players entertain, while also taking crowd requests. Not to be forgotten are the House of Blues, which attracts legendary greats like B.B. King, as well as the Palace Theater, which has offered the Dean Martin Variety Show.

If you get your kicks from being outdoors, visit Brookgreen Gardens, a sculpture garden designed in the shape of a butterfly. Avid athletes can take their vacation one step further by hitting the pavement for the annual 5K North Myrtle Beach Winter Run or the Bi-Lo Myrtle Beach Marathon. Both winter races offer scenic routes through Horry County. A short distance up Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach, the Society of Stranders kicks off their annual Mid-Winter Shag Classic to showcase the dance in the city where it originated. If you’ve ever seen the 1989 movie “Shag”, this event will feel like a step back in time for you literally!

So leave that winter coat at home and head for coastal South Carolina to soak up the vibe that is Myrtle Beach; a city whose heartbeat continues to pulse throughout the winter!
