About 25 minutes inland from downtown Myrtle Beach lies the historic city of Conway. Taking a detour over to Conway is something we’d recommend any time of the year but particularly when October rolls around. The city goes all out for Halloween, so much so that it now holds the nickname, “City of Halloween”.
You won’t find many places that take Halloween more seriously than Conway. Practically the entire city partakes in the festivities, decking out everything with pumpkins, skeletons, cobwebs, and Halloween lights.
Start your Halloween experience by taking a stroll around the Conway Historic District, where you’ll find creepy figures hanging from porches and fog machines adding an eerie touch. As the sun sets, you’ll find dimly lit streets with glowing jack-o’-lanterns lighting the way.
If you’re a fan of ghost stories then you’re in for even more of a treat. Conway offers haunted walking tours that cover the city’s eerie history. The Conway Ghost Walk is a fan favorite. Local guides lead you through some of the town’s oldest streets and buildings, sharing spooky tales and legends of restless spirits. Many of the buildings date back to the 1800s, and some are rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of their past.
The tour isn’t just scary stories; it’s about feeling the history of Conway. You’ll wander past creepy cemeteries and historic homes, all while learning about the haunted happenings of the city. The guides are dressed in costumes, adding to the historic aura. Whether or not you believe in ghosts, it’s a thrilling and fun way to spend an evening in Conway.
No Halloween experience would be complete without delicious treats. Conway’s local bakeries, like K&K’s Ice Cream and The Conway Bakery, offer special Halloween-themed goodies that’ll satisfy your seasonal cravings. Some of the local restaurants also get in on it, offering Halloween-themed cocktails or dishes.
Accommodation options in Conway are limited, but you’ll find hundreds of hotels less than 30 minutes away in Myrtle Beach. And what’s even better is that many of them offer drastically reduced rates this time of year. You can enjoy rooms with oceanfront balconies (and temperatures still warm enough to sit on those balconies) for less than $100 per night.
