Wish you were here? You can be! Now is a great time to be in Myrtle Beach. The weather is wonderful, the crowds will soon be starting to thin out, everything is open and the beach is the perfect place for relaxation.
Without a doubt if you took a poll of our reservationist one of the top questions they get is “What’s the weather in Myrtle Beach going to be like during our vacation”. We’ve heard it said that if you don’t like our weather just wait 15 minutes and it will change. Clear and sunny skies are the standard for the area but they can quickly become cloudy with some sprinkles and thunderstorms roll in from the ocean and are gone in a flash. Never worry though, with tons of shopping, restaurants and local attractions, you can always find something to keep your family occupied whether the skies are sunny and clear or if we have a little rain. Use this handy link and you’ll always be up to date with the current weather conditions in Myrtle Beach.
So…if you are ready for an end of summer getaway with perfect summer weather but don’t want to pay summer prices…give us a call and let us help you get here!!

Myrtle Beach SkyWheel
SkyWheel Myrtle Beach is a 187-foot tall observation wheel set along the Oceanfront Boardwalk and Promenade in downtown Myrtle Beach. It is the first observation wheel of its kind in the United States and the largest observation wheel east of the Mississippi River. The wheel consists of 42 Swiss-manufactured, climate-controlled, enclosed gondolas, which will accompany up to six passengers each. The attraction will stay open year-round and offers visitors several flight options to choose from.
WonderWorks Museum
WonderWorks bills itself as an “amusement park for the mind,” combining education and entertainment in over 100 hands-on exhibits that will spark the imagination and stimulate the mind. Visitors to the attraction will enjoy a variety of experiences including being blown away by 74 mile per hour hurricane-force winds, maneuvering the controls of a NASA spacecraft to land the shuttle, lying on a bed of 3,500 nails, piloting a fighter jet, designing and riding a 360 degree virtual roller coaster, playing virtual sports and competing in a game of lazer-tag.
Pirates Voyage
Pete Owens, spokesman for Pirates Voyage, says the 30,000 square foot arena will house a 750,000 gallon lagoon, 15 foot deep pool, three pirate ships, two pirate galleons and a sunken wreck. The former Dixie Stampede dinner show entertained millions during its 19-year streak along the Grand Strand. Owens says now is the perfect time to break that streak and “add a new jewel on the crown of Myrtle Beach entertainment.” “We’ll have performers emerging from the water, they’ll be in the sky above the folks in the arena and diving into the water, and of course, they’ll be a battle between pirates,” said Owens of the new show. Pirates Voyage opens June 3rd, 2011.
The Pat Boone Family Theatre
Work is finally starting on the Pat Boone Theater, which had planned to open in Myrtle Beach last year, with officials aiming to have the first shows late this summer. The Pat Boone Family Theatre will be located in the old NASCAR Speed park Building across the street from Broadway at the Beach. The theater, which will have a resident illusionist, gospel concerts, Christmas shows and other family friendly events, aims to have a “soft” opening in mid-July and a grand opening in August. Evening shows will cost $34.95, while matinees will cost $24.95. Children’s tickets will be $8.95.
Hooray for Hollywood
The Hooray for Hollywood show will be playing at the Palace Theatre just outside Broadway at the Beach. The show offers some of the best songs from the Broadway productions of “Singing in the Rain” and “The Lion King”.
Legends in Concert
The original Legends show that was housed in the Surfside Beach area of the Grand Strand has moved to the old Club Kryptonite Building in Myrtle Beach off of 17 Bypass. All reports states that the new venue is great and the show is better than ever!
Land Shark Bar & Grill Restaurant
Jimmy Buffet has another great restaurant to visit in Myrtle Beach! The Land Shark Bar & Grill is located on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and offers Jimmy Buffett Land Shark Lager Beer along with great food and beautiful beach views.
2011 will be nothing short of amazing and now is the perfect time to reserve your Myrtle Beach vacation home or condo. Also visit our exclusive Elliott VIP Coupon page for discounts off of restaurants and attractions in the Myrtle Beach area.
