The Hangout – Myrtle Beach, SC

Famous for live music, The Hangout is the most fun you can have on the strand, with a touch of nostalgia, there’s something for all ages. Games, dancing, music, contests & entertainment start in the morning and don’t stop until closing. The foam machine revs up & kids(even adult-sized) run amok through an avalanche of foamy bubbles. There’s a gigantic sandbox, a fire pit, a giant shaka hand, an amermaid bar, vintage lunchboxes, rubber duckies, matchbox cars, Pez containers & a 15-foot wishing wall. We have hair braiding & henna tattoos. There is fun for everyone!
