What’s New
You don’t have to be a music aficionado to have already heard the
buzz about the Hard Rock Park (George Bishop Parkway, off S.C. 501 or
Hwy. 31;
843-236-ROCK, HardRockPark.com), but this extraordinary $400
million complex
will undoubtedly appeal to rockers young and old. Five
distinct areas with
rides, exhibits, attractions, shops and restaurants
as well as an outdoor
concert facility, where the Moody Blues and the
Eagles officially opened the
park in June.
For those who like their roller coaster rides unaccompanied by
"Whole Lotta Love," there’s the Pavilion Nostalgia Park (Broadway at
the Beach;
843-913-9400, PavilionNostalgiaPark.com), a family-friendly
tribute to the
oceanfront park that entertained Myrtle Beach visitors
for nearly 60 years. The
old Pavilion was demolished in 2006, but
several of its classic rides are on
display at the Nostalgia Park including its 1912 Herschell-Spillman Carousel.
And it wouldn’t be the Pavilion without corn dogs and funnel cakes.
Don't Forget...
If it’s summer at the Beach, don’t miss the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (21st
Avenue N. & Robert Grissom Parkway; 843-918-6000, MyrtleBeachPelicans.com).
The Class A Carolina League affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, the Pelicans do
battle at BB&T Coastal Field, one of the best minor league ballparks in the
country. Affordable, fan-friendly and high-quality baseball, the Pelicans have
produced such major league stalwarts as Rafael Furcal, Jeff Francoeur, Marcus
Giles, Adam LaRoche and Brian McCann.
