Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Socastee

"Families are spoilt for choice with Myrtle Beach’s entertainment options, from amusement parks and golf courses to water sports. Most hotels in Myrtle Beach feature on-site pools and oceanfront views, but these 13 hotels also offer family-friendly water parks with slides, lazy rivers and water features. Most also include on-site restaurants, kids’ activity centres and convenient access to popular attractions."

"One of the most coveted attractions of Myrtle Beach is the vibrant SkyWheel—a 187 foot tall Ferris wheel on North Ocean Boulevard, right next to the popular Landshark Bar and Grill. Having opened in 2011, the SkyWheel attracts people from all over to ride in one of the six-people gondolas. The ride lasts for 3 revolutions and gives you a wonderful view of the city and ocean."

"This local chain, repeatedly named “Best of the Beach,” is known for two things: its tasty burgers and its family-friendly atmosphere. There’s only one thing to say after you try the OMG burger—which tops two beef patties with hickory-smoked bacon, Swiss and cheddar cheeses, lettuce, tomato, mayo and fried onion strings, stuffs it all between two fried egg and cheese sandwiches, and puts two giant fried onion rings on top—and that thing is “OMG."

"River City Cafe serves up a great selection of classic American eats including burgers, generous platters, and beach favorite sandwiches. River City Cafe features a decorative setting, with nick-nacks, novelties, and televisions adorned across the walls. Kids are definitely going to enjoy tossing peanut shells on the floor and coloring on the tables and walls!"

"If so, bring the clan to River City Café to indulge this appetite!. Another local favorite, River City serves up more than 20 unique burgers that range from classic to crazy. Options include the California Pizza Burger, Palmetto Burger, Nacho Crunch Burger, and Peanut Butter Burger."

"Capt. Dave’s Dockside Seafood is a delectable seafood restaurant that you can find, once again, on Murrells Inlet’s Marsh Walk. This restaurant surpasses most other seafood places in the area not only because of their fresh/locally-sourced seafood but also because of their strong sense of tradition. It’s no surprise that Captain Dave’s is serving up some of the best mid-century-esque coastal casual dining favorites because they’ve been family owned and run since 1974."

"Captain Dave’s Dockside has been an Inlet staple since 1975, though its recent renovations have elevated the decor to a more upscale modern feel. With an emphasis on fresh local seafood, Captain Dave’s menu is designed to let the fish shine. The Pan Crusted Grouper is a favorite choice, served with a shrimp Dijon cream sauce with wild rice for $37."

"What it's known for: Offering the freshest local seafood, a great wine and beer selection and some of the best views of the inlet, Captain Dave's is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. There's often live entertainment and the complementary hush puppies can't be beat. Style: Seafood, waterfront, family-friendly, lunch, dinner, Sunday brunch"

"Landry’s seafood has been a Broadway at the Beach staple for years!. They are known for serving fresh gulf coast seafood, delicious steaks, and wonderful desserts. Their charming atmosphere adds to your dining experience not to mention the beautiful waterfront views of Lake Broadway."

Heritage Shores Nature Preserve can be accessed via Cherry Grove Park."

"Downtown Myrtle Beach is home to a hidden art gem – William H. Miller Studios. This small gallery features the works of William H. Miller, who experiments in digital art, paintings, photography, and mixed media. Along with his personal art, Miller also allows other artists to display their works in his space for specific themes each month."

"Located on Main Street, this small studio was founded in 2015 by William H Miller to showcase his work and also that of other local artists. The influence that his background in graphic design has is evident in his digital art and more abstract paintings."
