Summer Lights, Summer Sights, Summer Nights At Broadway At The Beach

Posted in Broadway at the Beach, Featured Posts

Summer in Myrtle Beach can be summed up as the time when the water gets warmer, the drinks get colder, the music gets louder, the nights get longer and life gets better!

When the sun rises each morning, we lather on the sunblock, we grab our shades and best beachwear and head to the golden shores of the Grand Strand. When the sun begins to set, that's the time we eat, drink and enjoy the annual summer entertainment series at Broadway at the Beach!

From stationary in Center Court, The Avenue and the Heroes Harbor stage to strolling through everywhere in between, the Summer Nights entertainment series beginning June 1st and continuing through September 2nd features live entertainment, high energy routines and musical performances that will entice the entire family seven nights a week.

In Center Court, Mr. Nigel will have your whole family dancing to today's tunes Monday through Friday while face painters create facial artwork on Saturdays and Sundays. On Sundays, your little ones can enjoy visiting with their favorite princesses and superheroes!

On The Avenue, every night of the week, Fire dancers will wow the crowd as they heat up the night with a performance as costumed stilt walkers make balloons, jokes and take pictures with you and your whole party!

On the Heroes Harbor stage next to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, the musical talents of Next Level Showcase will perform every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Singing today's hits, yesterday's classics and a few originals, you don't want to miss a night with Next Level Showcase!

The sky is the limit this 2018 summer season as we will once again light up the night on Tuesdays and Fridays with Fireworks Extravaganzas over Lake Broadway sponsored by Helicopter Adventures! For a complete fireworks schedule, click here. Those same nights, you will hear the sounds of Ripley's RUCKUS drumline as they will beat to the sound of their drums while strolling through!

For a complete list of performances and times, click here.

So in the morning when the sun rises over the sands of the Grand Strand and you are making your night time destination decisions, be sure to choose the Summer Nights and enjoy the sunsets at Broadway at the Beach!

Discovering Del-Sol’s Solar Powers

Posted in Broadway at the Beach, Shopping

Spectrachrome crystals, sun light and solar energy… no this blog isn't a lesson in the outer limits of the galaxy, but rather the color change magic of Del-Sol at Broadway at the Beach! We recently visited the unique store and learned how the process of harnessing the sun's energy can create colorful designs on everything at Del-Sol from t-shirts and sunglasses to nail polish, jewelry and accessories!

Now we could try to explain the process and backstory of the color change magic, involving something called molecular excitation transition, nanometers and NASA Astronauts, but it's best explained here.

Now how cool is that? Let's see it again.

Whatever you choose to purchase at Del-Sol, it starts out as simplistic and ends up spectacular as it hits the sun or indoors using their solar panels! But it's not a one change deal, once your shirt, glasses or trinket is back indoors away from the sun rays, it changes back to the original, so you can experience the colorful change day after day! It was a cool experience to learn about the sun's energy and we even walked out with a few shirts of our own! Speaking of cool experience, our next stop was a return visit right next store to Cariloha a sister store of Del-Sol where everything is made of bamboo. To learn more about the cool comfort of Cariloha, click here.

So until next time, we'll be enjoying the sun with our Del-Sol goodies and the softness with our growing Cariloha collection!

Now when it comes to the variety of moonshine, the sweet fruity sky is the limit as flavors include Apple Pie, Caramel Apple, and infusions featuring blackberry, cherry, cranberry, grape, peach and lemonade.

Sweet Lessons Of Taffy Making At River Street Sweets

Posted in Broadway at the Beach, Featured Posts

We came, we saw and we sampled! A recent visit to River Street Sweets not only tempted our sweet tooth, but we learned a thing or two about the art of taffy making from a man who has been creating the sweet treat for nearly two decades!

Candy creator Jorge has been making the sweet stuff for more than 18 years creating the candy classics we love including taffy, caramel, brittle and of course River Street Sweets' world famous pralines!

Bringing his talents all the way from the original River Street Sweets in Savannah, Georgia, Jorge is teaching new team members at their location at Broadway at the Beach and that's what we came to see!

We do have a disclaimer and are sweetly ashamed to admit, when walking in the door, we were immediately (but deliciously) distracted by the freshly made pralines, causing us to be a little late to the taffy lesson. So we will have to fast forward through the first steps of making the taffy base of top secret ingredients! Next time, we will try not to be so delightfully distracted, but can't make any promises.

Once the taffy base is ready, it is ready for the pully! This machine allows the taffy to aerate as Jorge and his team color and flavor the taffy. On this visit, coconut was the flavor of choice!



We learned the pully is used because of the constant turning motion that helps blend and mix the flavor and color so it is spread throughout the entire taffy mix.

Now that the taffy is fully pulled, we are ready for the last step, the wrapping machine. To see this in action, check out this video!

Sweet side note: This particular wrapping machine is 104 years old. Yes, 104 years old!

At this point, the taffy is stretched in to the machine where it is cut, separated and wrapped. After that it is time to enjoy! And we did just that! In fact the fresh taste of coconut may be our new favorite flavor! But then again, any freshly made taffy flavor is likely to be our favorite including banana, peppermint, cinnamon, bubble gum and the list goes on... and on.. and on!


So as our taffy making lesson wrapped up…


We sank our teeth into this classic coastal favorite as you will want to do on your next visit to River Street Sweets at Broadway at the Beach!
