"Celebrity sightings are usually rare in Myrtle Beach, but this two-story Broadway at the Beach attraction is definitely the exception. Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Robert DeNiro, and all manner of other A-list celebrities, actors, and musicians are rendered in wax and waiting to take selfies with you and your family. Just make sure your phone is fully charged!"

"Hollywood Wax Museum Entertainment Center is home to a trio of enjoyable attractions for families. From celebrity wax figures to mazes, this complex teems with family fun. Start your visit by checking out the astonishing, life-size wax figures of the museum."

"Aside from the historical museums in the area, Myrtle Beach is also home to several specialty museums that serve more as entertainment attractions than educational spaces. These places are perfect for those more interested in taking selfies with wax figure replicas of famous people, seeing mind-bending displays of strange human achievements, discovering the practical wonders of science, or checking out classic cars. Fun for the whole family, a trip to one or more of these promises an experience that will be talked (and maybe) laughed about for the foreseeable future."

"So many people grew up watching and reading materials from the franchise that is Ripley’s Believe It or Not!. , so when you’re in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, it makes sense that one of the must-do attractions is one by the very same name. The Myrtle Beach branch of Ripley’s Believe It or Not!"

Since its privatization in 1993, the base has become a beautiful park, displaying aircraft that was once an active part of operations, and each craft on display is presented with details about its history and significance. Among aircraft on display, tourists will find an A-10 Warthog Thunderbolt that supported ground troops during Operation Desert Storm, an F-100 jet fighter that saw action between the mid-1950s and early 1970s, and one of the base's A-7 Corsair tactical fighter jets."

"Bovines is a tempting steak/seafood/pizza restaurant that’s located on the Marsh Walk in Murrells Inlet, SC. This restaurant beats out most other places in the area with similar cuisine not only because of their oceanfront location or dockside delivery option (for when you just don’t want to leave the boat) but also because of their well-aged brick-oven. Their skilled Chefs use the oven to prepare some of the tastiest wood-fired steaks, seafood, and pizzas that you’re likely to have ever tasted."
