OCEAN DRIVE
The official “rain dance” in North Myrtle Beach is the Carolina Shag, the beach music craze of the 1950s and ’60s that was born on the boardwalks and dance clubs around the intersection of Main Street and Ocean Drive. The surrounding clubs, including Fat Harold’s and OD Arcade and Lounge, keep the Shag alive and kicking, especially when rain invites everyone indoors to hit the dance floor. Many even offer free Shag lessons, so if you are new to the South Carolina state dance, you can learn to rock-step in no time! Ocean Drive is also the home of the North Myrtle Beach Area Historical Museum, where you can experience the history, culture, and science of the area.
