Broadway At The Beach Changes For 2017

If you have visited Myrtle Beach over the past 22 years, then my guess is that you are familiar with Broadway At The Beach and all of the amazing things there are available to do. However, if you have visited in the past and are planning a trip back to Myrtle Beach expecting to go visit the Pyramid, you will be hard pressed to find it. Over the past year, the section of Broadway known as Celebrity Square has been completely renovated and give a major overhaul.

Gone is the giant pyramid that used to be Hard Rock Cafe and it has been replaced by a brand new building housing the all new Dave & Buster’s. Here you can enjoy a tasty meal and hours of endless fun playing games or watching your favorite sporting event on one of the many TV’s throughout. I recently visited here with my Broker for lunch and the Classic Goldfingers were delicious. He had the Bang Bang Chicken with Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles which also looked very good.

If you are sad about the removal of Hard Rock Cafe, do not fret, Hard Rock Cafe simply moved down the street to a brand new location which can be seen from afar by the giant 40′ giant red rotating guitar. You can still catch live entertainment here and have the full rock star experience that you have grown to love. During the summer, it looks like they have live entertainment almost every evening.

Back in the winter of 2016, the Wahlburgers family owned by Mark, Donnie & executive chef Paul Wahlberg opened their doors at Broadway At The Beach. Stop by there and enjoy a delicious burger. My personal favorite is the O.F.D or Originally from “Dorchestah”. Of course the sweet potato tots and the mac ‘n cheese with smoked bacon are a must to making any meal better too.

Another recent addition that opened is Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen. This restaurant features southern cuisine at it’s finest in a family style dining experience. After looking at their menu, the fried chicken and fried catfish have my mouth watering to go & give it a try. Of course, I’m sure Paula adds a pound of butter to everything, because we all know, butter makes everything better.

Now if you are thinking that all of your favorite things to do at Broadway have been shut down, you will be glad to know that they are all still there. You can still go enjoy going underwater with the sharks & see the mermaids at Ripley’s Aquarium, catching a new flick at Broadway 17 Cinemas, or going upside down at Wonderworks upside down house.

Fireworks At Broadway At The Beach

Another great thing to check out at Broadway At The Beach during the summer is the fireworks display that they do every Tuesday evening at 10PM over the lake. We haven’t been able to catch one yet this year, but below you can see a video snippet from when we saw one of the shows last year. You can see my how excited my son was during this show by all the jumping he did. The shows are great to catch and are free. Our favorite place to catch the fireworks is from the deck at Ripley’s Aquarium after visiting with the sharks & rays.

A tip from a local: If you watch the fireworks from Ripley’s, you can also enjoy a free bag of popcorn and a soft drink that they provide during the show.

The Best Home For Christmas Lights In Myrtle Beach

As you all know, I have three children, all under 10 years of age. One of their favorite things to do this time of year is to hop in the car and go for a ride around Myrtle Beach looking at Christmas lights. We could spend hours driving up and down the streets and neighborhoods looking at them.

Last night however, I found the ultimate display on Foster Avenue in Myrtle Beach. This is right off of Highway 707 in the southern end of the beach. I had Miriam along in the car and she loved seeing their display. The owners actually have signs out to direct traffic down the one way road as well as hours of operation which is from 5:30-10 each night. Check out the video below and if you get a chance, take a drive by over the next week and enjoy their amazing display in person.

How To Spend A February Day In Myrtle Beach

While many of our northeastern friends are currently dealing with a snowstorm for the third Monday in a row, down here in Myrtle Beach, we are currently enjoying some really fantastic weather. Today is a sunny, warm 65 degrees fahrenheit with a gentle breeze day.

To give you an idea of how awesome the weather is today, here’s a great video by local Myrtle Beach Videographer, Thomas Hart of Heart Media. He was out just testing his new aerial drone at the beach, but I thought it was some really great footage showing how awesome a day we are having. Check it out.

While not every day is this warm at this time of year, it is not uncommon for us to experience several days during the winter months with warmer temperatures. Here’s a graphic showing our average temperatures each month versus several popular northern cities.

Personally, as someone who used to live right outside of Philadelphia, PA, I don’t miss those cold winter days spent outside shoveling inches of snow while battling sub-zero winds trying to stay warm under four layers of clothing. Instead, I’d rather spend my time relaxing on a beach chair with my toes in the sand.

If you are tired of fighting the winter blizzards, maybe it is time to consider a move to Myrtle Beach, SC? Fill out this simple form and I will send you a copy of my Myrtle Beach Relocation Guide for free.
