Broadway at the Beach Blog

Are you pumped up and ready for summer? On June 20th, the season officially arrived in Myrtle Beach at 6:34 p.m. And, every day this week is among the longest we'll have all year. So why not make the most of them?

Can there be a better time all year to spend a day on the beach? The air temperatures will be hovering around a pleasant 85 all week as bright sunshine caresses winter-weary skin. Breezes will be just strong enough to get the palm trees swaying. As ocean waves run up against the sandy shore, they'll be arriving at just under 80 degrees.

With the start of summer and the beautiful weather head it's time to treat yourself to new swimwear, a roomy and colorful beach bag, all the necessary suncare products, or even a surf board, bodyboard or skimboard. And you can do just that at two of the best surf shops in Myrtle Beach, Ron Jon Surf Shop and Tsunami Surf Shop, both located at Broadway at the Beach.

World-renowned Ron Jon Surf Shop earned its reputation by showing beach goers the many ways to enjoy an active lifestyle built around surf and sand. Stop by and check out the men's, women's and kid's surf fashions. You'll also want to explore the shop's many different sizes of surfboards and find one just right for you. Not a water lover? No problem. . . Ron Jon has skateboards and all the gear to go with them for landlubbers.

A short stroll across the Lake Broadway bridge at Broadway at the Beach, you'll find another surfer's paradise, Tsumani Surf & Resort Wear. Tsumami says its claim to fame is simply being the largest surf shop in the Carolinas. The shop is clearly focused on keeping your look fresh during the summer with clothes in eye-catching colors and beautiful patterns. From baby flip flops to stylish bikinis and USA wear perfect for July 4th, it's another must-stop shop for beach lovers.

Now that summertime's officially here, the living is easy. So have fun at the beach. Enjoy a late afternoon visiting shops and attractions at Broadway at the Beach. And, top each long day off by lingering on a restaurant deck and enjoying the sunset and cool breezes coming off the lake.
You deserve it.

Searching for something that the whole family can enjoy on Father's Day? Come to Broadway at the Beach where you'll find there are more things to do than hours in the day!

In the cool of late morning, take a leisurely stroll together around Broadway, checking out the many shops and attractions, the variety of eateries and enjoying the smells of pretzels baking, sweet fudge cooking and burgers being grilled. Choose a seat on a deck overlooking Lake Broadway and have some lunch as you watch adventurous folks ziplining across the water, while ducks float lazily below.

Walk off lunch with a stroll onto one of the long bridges that stretch across the lake, pausing to feed the fish. Head for Dragon's Lair Fantasy Golf and play a little putt-putt, then hop on the Jet Boat and skim across the water together. Or challenge dad to take on one of the extreme rides at Pavilion Park with you.

Top off the day inside the cool Carmike Cinemas Broadway 17, where the most popular movies of each week are showing.

A great choice for Father's Day is the family-centric film, Finding Dory. The long-awaited sequel to the classic Finding Nemo, it's a sweet fish tale focused on the search for and meaning of family. It delivers a lot of laughs and a big emotional punch like Nemo, so pack a tissue.

No Father's Day is complete without a visit to Broadway at the Beach!
