Is it a rainy day out? Think your Myrtle Beach vacation is ruined? The movie theater may be the perfect place to go. Fortunately, over the past couple of years, the Grand Strand has acquired a great addition to theater sites.

If you’re near the North Myrtle Beach area, enjoy some shopping at the Colonial Mall and visit the renovated 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.

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.

Not too far from Coastal Grand Mall is the new Market Commons along with its movie theater. 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 a 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. Be prepared for a rainy day and catch a movie.
