February Myrtle Beach Area Drive & Dine

The first Myrtle Beach event will this Sunday, February 16th. We will be meeting in the parking lot of Ollie’s Bargain Outlet in Carolina Forest, 2100 Oakheart Road, Myrtle Beach 29579 at 11:30. We will socialize a little and at noon head into the heart of Myrtle Beach and “Cruise the Strip” to 2nd Avenue Pier Restaurant for lunch. I know that we are currently under a winter weather advisory, but the weather is supposed to be much nicer for the drive on Sunday. It may still be a little chilly to sit out on the deck for lunch, but the dining room offers some beautiful views of the beach. The off season is great time to experience some great food at the beach without having to deal with the summer tourists.  http://secondavenuepier.com/restaurant/
