Ocean Drive Area Properties

Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is a very special place indeed – it is known as the home of beach music and the Carolina Shag, a wild style of dance that is thought to have originated in the 1920s and has dancers cutting a rug in a combination of the jitterbug and swing dance. It's really something fun to see.

Several shag dancing festivals are held throughout the year in Georgetown, North Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach. There is also a handful of organizations and venues throughout the Grand Strand to keep the Shag alive. The Shagger's Hall of Fame is filled with dance notables.

At the intersection of Main Street and Ocean Boulevard, you will find fun bars and dance clubs that keep the music and good times flowing. Stop in one for a quick bite to eat and a refreshing drink, and you might find your feet taking you onto the dance floor to join in. Don’t be shy, it's great exercise and is a lot of fun to cut loose. Prominent clubs to visit are Duck’s Beach Club, Fat Harold’s Beach Club, Ocean Drive Shag Club and OD Pavilion.

Main Street also has a ton of boutique businesses, with knickknack shops, pet care shops and more. Several grocery stores are located nearby as well as restaurants where you can grab a quick bite or a leisurely meal. It's also a short walk to the beach so when you are ready, you can dip your toes in the Atlantic Ocean.
