Culture
Tourism
The Grand Strand area receives a large influx of visitors during the spring, summer and fall months, with over ten million tourists visiting Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas. The area's attractions include the beaches and many golf courses, as well as a number of amusement parks, an aquarium, dozens of restaurants including seafood restaurants, the large shopping complexes as "Broadway at the Beach" or "Coastal Grand Mall", the largest mall of South Carolina, an IMAX theater, dinner theater, nightclubs, and tourist shops. The area is home to scores of hotels, many of which are beachfront hotels. Since 1986, Myrtle Beach has been the home of a theater industry, spawned by Calvin Gilmore and his original Carolina Opry show, which continues to be a draw for tourists 23 years later. Other attractions include the Myrtle Beach State Park and fishing. The area also has a Ripley's Aquarium and Hard Rock Park, an amusement park (temporarily closed).

Restaurants and golf courses are found across the Grand Strand, with a large number concentrating in the downtown area of the city.
