And when summer rolls around, the area’s musical offerings really come alive with plenty of free summert concert series, giving families and friends a chance to enjoy some entertainment while keeping the budget intact.
The list of stars who have played at this Barefoot Landing venue includes such big names as 311, Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson and Eminem. The patchwork warehouse structure has a definite Southern, bluesy vibe, with folk art on the walls and pretty much everywhere else you look. The space is big enough for a good-sized crowd, but small enough that there really aren’t any bad places to watch the show from – unless you get stuck behind a much taller person.
This Intracoastal Waterway bar and grill has become a summertime hotspot for national and regional bands, with boats pulling up out back to watch the show, and locals and tourists filling the building and back patio.

There are two stages at this North Myrtle Beach concert venue, and since local and regional bands typically share the bill, live music-lovers can catch several acts in one night. Shows are booked every night of the week during the summer, and the off-season is also full of great rock, indie, punk, and alternative bands.
This open space right in the heart of Ocean Boulevard is a fun and unique place to catch a show during the park’s Hot Summer Nights series in the summer, which typically features bands at least three nights a week. In addition to the individual shows, Plyler Park is also home to various festivals throughout the year.
A favorite among repeat visitors, Sands Ocean Club’s wooden patio bar gives beachgoers a chance to live it up just a stone’s throw from the waves. With a full schedule of live bands each summer, Ocean Annie’s is also a great place to catch some local music while enjoying the rays and beverage of choice.
