FOR HISTORIC OCEANFRONT DINING… 

Sea Captain’s House boasts over 60 years of extraordinary oceanfront dining. Famous for its superb dining, prime location on the beach, and warm hospitality, the restaurant has proudly built a reputation as the place for seafood and where friends and family meet year after year. With everything from award-winning she-crab soup to classic jambalaya, it’s no wonder Sea Captain’s House is a Myrtle Beach staple.

Built with passion for good food at the forefront, Hook and Barrel offers a fresh take on dining, providing visitors with distinctive, sustainable seafood dishes and local produce. With an ethical, eco-friendly environment dedicated to being friendly to the Earth, from the kitchen to the front of house, it will only take one nibble and you’ll be hooked.

FOR ENDLESS FUN IN THE SUN… 

At Shark Wake Park, life’s just more fun on the water. This unforgettable outdoor water park boasts adventure for the entire family, from cable wakeboarding and kneeboarding to a floating obstacle course complete with slides, climbing towers, and more. Shark Wake Park is committed to building and operating some of the best family-friendly outdoor entertainment across the entire continent. 

FOR A SHOWSTOPPING EXPERIENCE… 

If you only have time to see one show whilst on your holiday, make sure it’s at The Carolina Opry Theater. A Grand Strand landmark and nationally recognised attraction, the theatre’s grand columns and sparkling cupola are unmissable, enchanting visitors to come and experience the excitement and showmanship for themselves. 

Once inside, the grand lobby boasts 40 ft ceilings, a grand piano, and twin staircases that curve upward from either side of the lobby before leading to the luxurious auditorium. With newly installed upholstered seating, the performance space can comfortably accommodate up to 2,000 individuals with perfect sight lines from each seat. 

The venue is perfect for hosting corporate annual meetings, awards ceremonies, graduations, local talent showcases, company anniversary celebrations, national touring acts, and so much more, as the stage is equipped with state-of-the-art production equipment. 

Founded in 1986 with a vision that first-rate entertainment could thrive along the Grand Strand, The Carolina Opry Theater was the first show to open in Myrtle Beach and provided a breath of fresh air to the city. This sensational show went on to open its permanent theatre in 1992, further thrusting Myrtle Beach into the limelight.   

In 1987, it was named the state’s Most Outstanding Attraction by the governor of South Carolina, and in 1992, USA Today credited it with starting the Myrtle Beach boom, attracting investment groups to follow suit and making the area as popular as it remains today. 

The Carolina Opry Theater is a true cornerstone of Myrtle Beach’s entertainment legacy, celebrating nearly 40 years of unforgettable performances that continue to capture the heart and spirit of the city.
