Overview
Shag Clubs & Beach Clubs
The Carolina Shag dance (or just The Shag) came to prominence along the Grand Strand in the 1940’s, but the buzz is still in the air at several of the area’s nightlife destinations. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or new to the Beach Music scene, there’s sure to be a spot for you on and your partner out on the floor. In addition to regular nights of fun, several of the clubs also host Society of Stranders festivals and get-togethers throughout the year, drawing thousands of people from all over the place, so there’s no shortage of opportunities to get your six-step on.
Fat Harold’s Beach Club
For years and years, this Main Street North Myrtle Beach shag club has been crammed with dancers eager to do the shag. It’s also home to the Society of Stranders festivals, which feature live bands, dj’s, lessons, workshops, food, and more.

Duck’s Beach Club
Just like their sibling-in-Shag down the street, Duck’s also features new live entertainment every week, and a full schedule of bands and dj’s during Society of Stranders events. Also located on Main Street in North Myrtle Beach, it’s close enough to Fat Harold’s to hop back and forth between the two as you see fit.

OD Arcade & Lounge
This Ocean Drive lounge has been a popular hangout for visitors who love to dance, listen to live music, try their pipes at karaoke, or play all manner of games while having a good time or a bite to eat. In addition to everything else, OD Arcade also hosts various shag dance events throughout the year, providing a place for Beach Music enthusiasts to congregate with others who share the same passion for The Shag.

Pirate’s Cove Lounge
Among the many storied clubs along Main Street in North Myrtle Beach is a place with just as much history, yet a slightly different feel. Occupying a spot that’s been a staple of the North Myrtle Beach landscape for more than 75 years — housing clubs such as Pour House, The Cavalier Club and The Back Alley Lounge — Pirate’s Cove Lounge opened in 1995 and has been making noise ever since.
