Site Description
We are excited to again have the Feast in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Now a thriving metropolis, Myrtle Beach began as a getaway for residents of Conway, South Carolina. It was finally incorporated as a town in 1957 and was named after the area’s southern wax myrtle shrubs.
Today Myrtle Beach is known as the golf capital. Currently, there are 87 premier golf courses throughout the area. It is also considered to be one of America’s most popular vacation destinations. The area boasts a variety of motel and condo units as well as limitless restaurants and shopping adventures.
The biggest draw is its miles of coastline—and opportunities to play in the sand, collect seashells and catch some waves.
Myrtle Beach also has the oceanfront Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, a new SkyWheel, Ripley’s Aquarium, several live shows in theaters, miniature golf courses, jet skiing and parasailing. There are 350 acres of shopping, restaurants and other attractions at Broadway at the Beach.
Services will be held at the Crown Reef Beach Resort and Convention Center (2913 S. Ocean Blvd., Myrtle Beach, SC). This facility includes an on-site hotel with kitchenettes, and in the last two years it has updated its bathrooms, beds and linens. Additional housing is available in Myrtle Beach and nearby North Myrtle Beach.
Fragrance-controlled room available: No.
Lodging tax rate: 7%. (If you stay at the Crown Reef, all taxes and fees are included.)
Closest airport: Myrtle Beach (MYR), 2.5 miles.
