Looking for a romantic date idea in Myrtle Beach? Visit the Franklin G. Borroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum. While this next part may seem less than romantic, it will be worth it: split up and go opposite directions from your partner with an agreed-upon time to return. Stroll the museum and find an exhibit that you’re excited to show your date, whether it reminds you of them, made you smile, or stumped you. When you find each other again, tour the museum as usual until you come to the exhibits you chose and talk about them together.
Dinner theater is an art in Myrtle Beach. Solve a 1920s murder mystery at Riga Tony’s, cheer for your knight in a jousting tournament at Medieval Times, feel the heat at the Polynesian Fire Luau, or see daring seafaring stunts at Pirates Voyage. You can go out to dinner anywhere, but nowhere does dinner and a show like Myrtle Beach.
