Condolux has a new addition to their website marketing, attracting the attention of the Myrtle Beach snowbirds. No, not seagulls, or any other “bird” for that matter, but simply those couples and families who “fly south for the winter” in search of a great deal on winter condos in Myrtle Beach. Don’t ask me how the term came to be, but it does fit very well.

MyrtleBeach-WinterRentals.com is loaded with information and deals for Myrtle Beach winter condos. Did you know renting a condo in the winter is half, if not a third, of the price than during high season? You can still enjoy everything the beach has to offer (well maybe not swimming) while saving money as well.

Myrtle Beach in the winter has a mild climate, excellent for golfers, which is why Myrtle Beach winter golf is so popular.  A nice breeze from the ocean and a great temperature to wake up to makes Myrtle Beach one of the top golf destinations in the world.

If you are looking for a great deal for your next vacation, MyrtleBeach-WinterRentals.com might have just what you are hoping for. You can even rent a 4 bedroom condo in Malibu Pointe for the price of a 3-bedroom during the winter months!  Visit the website.

Is it a rainy day out? Think your Myrtle Beach vacation is ruined? The movie theater may be the perfect place to go or maybe check out the tons of other indoor attractions that dot the area. Fortunately, because of all the things to do, although the beach may be out, you can still have a great family vacation until the weather passes by.

If you’re near the North Myrtle Beach area, enjoy some shopping at the Myrtle Beach Mall and visit the Carmike Theater located at 10177 North Kings Highway. (The address is in Myrtle Beach if you are using GPS.)

Further down into Myrtle Beach is Broadway at the Beach, a vacation hot-spot for tourists, where another theater is located. In the same shopping area you can catch a 3D view at the IMAX theater. Don’t call your vacation a vacation until you check out an IMAX movie! Who knows, by the time the movie is done, it could have stopped raining (happens quite often in Myrtle Beach), and you can walk around Broadway at the Beach!  Also new this year (2011) at Broadway is the WonderWorks, an upside down “museum/education” exhibit for the family.

Not enough shopping for you? Visit Coastal Grand Mall at 2100 Coastal Grand Circle in Myrtle Beach where there is an array of not only shopping, but also restaurants including Red Lobster, Sticky Fingers and Abuelo’s. This has always been one of my favorite spots, and great for anyone on a Myrtle Beach vacation.

How about a show? Choose from the Palace Theater, Pirate’s Voyage, Medieval Times, Good Vibrations, and more! (They are all listed on our Myrtle Beach attractions page.)

Not too far from Coastal Grand Mall is the new Market Common along with its movie theater. But you do have to park a bit away and walk in the rain before you get to the entrance. If you’re into upscale fashion, this may be the place for you to pick up a new shirt before your favorite movie.

Lastly there is another theater located in Murrells Inlet off of Highway 17 Bypass, in addition to historic Conway’s movie theater on 220 Rivertown Boulevard.

From being a resident of Myrtle Beach for years, I know the weather is always unpredictable.

There has been constant ranting and raving along the Grand Strand about the new addition to the beach, Hard Rock Park. I drive by the amusement park on Highway 501 frequently and I am always surprised at how many people are in the new park.

I haven’t been able to take a visit, but I’ve learned through friends and family what it is all about. Based on a rock theme, this park has several rides for all ages, especially the younger crowd. Rides such as the London Cab Ride, Just a Swingin’ and Eagle Life in the Fast Lane catch the excitement of the attendees, but I have to say, people cannot get enough of the Led Zeppelin roller coaster.

This particular roller coaster, I’ve heard, is the best ride of the park. Although there are a few rides yet to be open, it seems as if it would be tough to surpass this particular one. While on this roller coaster, you ascend 15 stories and plunge at nearly 65 miles per hour around several loops while listening to Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love.” The ride is probably one of the newest best Myrtle Beach attractions.

There’s also stunt shows, places for shopping and an array of food choices. In addition to that, concerts are held at Hard Rock Park in one or more of their theaters. On Friday, May 23, George Clinton will perform, however, the main event will happen as the park comes to its official opening.

The official opening of the park will occur June 2-3, while the Eagles and The Moody Blues perform for hundreds of visitors and residents of the beach.

Tickets are $50, but it is free for children 3 and under. The park ticket covers most concerts, but is not applicable to opening day weekend. I think that the money is definitely worth it, especially if one of your favorite bands is coming to the beach.

I cannot say Hard Rock Park is the best because I haven’t been, but you can give it a try yourself. For more information, visit http://www.hardrockpark.com/.
