A wonderful thing to do in Myrtle Beach this holiday season is to visit Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland. It is located at BB&T Coastal Field. It offers thousands of lights finely tuned to ten different songs.

This is Shadrack’s first year in Myrtle Beach, so I loaded the family up & took a drive over to see what it was all about. It was $25 which covers everyone in your vehicle. It takes about 30 minutes to drive through the over 1 mile of winding path of lights. There are also a few places you can pull over and just enjoy the show.Here’s a quick video showing some of the Christmas light show:

Things To Do In Myrtle Beach- Miyabi Japanese Steakhouse

A favorite things to do in Myrtle Beach is to eat at one of my favorite places, Miyabi Japanese Steakhouse. They have nice large Hibachi Tables where friends sit around their own personal Hibachi Grill and enjoy an entertaining dinner cooked by their own personal Chef. Each table will fit eight adults comfortably.

You will be mesmorized by all types of cooking tricks from flaming onions to erupting volcanoes of Soy Sauce Lava. Watch as they make shrimp fly and toss them into your mouth. I once thought about trying some of their knife tricks at home, but upon more thought, I decided it would be safer to leave those tricks to the professionals.

One of the best parts of Miyabi is that they have early bird specials where prices are reduced $5-$10 on the specials. Early Bird Specials usually run Monday through Thursday from 4-6PM.

My personal favorite is the steak, shrimp, & chicken special. This meal starts with a salad, bowl of soup, shrimp appetizer, and freshly sauteed onions & zucchini. After the preliminary appetizers you are then served an enormous mound of rice and your meats. One thing for sure is to come hungry and be ready for a to-go box.

Miyabi Japanese Steakhouse has 2 locations:

North Myrtle Beach: (843) 449-9294
Murrells Inlet: (843) 651-4616
