Myrtle Beach is a magical place in November.  As the temperatures dip and the holidays draw near, many local events invite you to revel in the season with your family and friends.  We’ve pulled together a list of some of the most exciting activities coming to Myrtle Beach in November.

Dicken’s Christmas Show and Festival, with its beautiful Christmas crafts and homemade foods, the Dickens Christmas Show and Festival is a beloved holiday tradition in Myrtle Beach.  Christmas crafts fill the booths at the Convention Center while music fills the air.  You’re sure to feel the holiday spirit with this and any of these other fun activities:

Come be a VIP—Owner and Guest Getaways for October

Live entertainment, fantastic food and lasting friendships—there were so many reasons to love the September Owner and Guest Getaway!  When asked to summarize her weekend in one sentence, guest Deloris exclaimed “When is the next one!”  Well, to answer her question, we'll host the next Owner and Guest Getaway on October 18^th-20^th.

Deloris’s enthusiasm about the Owner and Guest Getaways is understandable after the exhilarating weekend she enjoyed being chauffeured by our drivers to restaurant and entertainment venues around Myrtle Beach.  Deloris, her husband and 14 other couples and friends came together for a weekend of fun that started with an evening at Damon’s Oceanfront Grill.  While overlooking the ocean, our guests enjoyed delicious food and exciting prize giveaways.  One of our guests won a prize simply by having the most pictures of her family in her purse.



Family photos=prize!

The next evening, the elegant Italian eatery, Capriz left everyone fulfilled after the wait staff delivered plate after plate of pastas, pizzas and meats.  But the night didn’t end there.  After Capriz, our drivers chauffeured our contented guests to Legends in Concert, where they enjoyed classics from such artist impersonators as Roy Orbison, Diana Ross, the Blues Brothers, Cher and, of course, the legendary Elvis.

Our guests loved the food and entertainment.  As we chatted with them at the end of the weekend one of the highlights was making new friends.  Fifteen couples came together as strangers and left as friends after a weekend of fantastic food and fun.



VIP access onstage—meeting performers!

If you think that you, your family or your friends would enjoy a Getaway weekend in Myrtle Beach, we invite you to attend the October event.  We're planning an evening of fabulous seafood at Crabby Mike’s endless seafood buffet and another night of royal revelry at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament.

This event is just two weeks away!  To learn more about this sensational weekend, call 1-888-210-1241 today!

S’more the Merrier - Enjoy Mouth Watering S'mores!

A Unique S'more Experience

Reawaken childhood memories of sitting around the campfire, sticks in hand, and the sweet scent of caramelizing marshmallow floating on the air.  A golden brown crust clings to the outer edge of your now perfectly toasted marshmallow. As you press it between two crisp graham cracker halves, it oozes over the sides, bringing with it a hint of melted chocolate.  You close your eyes as you savor each moment, you know you're tasting something special.

Our new S’more the Merrier activity is the chance to bring out the child in all of us.  Join us on Tuesdays at 2pm in the Activity Center to craft delectable S’more creations and satisfy your sweet tooth for only $2. 

Start by roasting your fluffy, white marshmallow at the roasting station.  When it has reached toasty perfection, move to the gourmet ingredient table to choose from a variety of fun s’more recipes.  Create your favorite or mix it up with new ingredients to try something deliciously new like Plantation Deluxe with graham crackers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, pretzel square, and toasty marshmallow.

From the Classic S'more (with graham crackers, Hershey's Chocolate, and delicious marshmallow) to the Mint Dream (with chocolate mint cookie, Andes Mint and yummy marshmallow), you’re sure to enjoy several of our exciting menu items.  We also encourage you to make your own delicious s’more recipe.  Write your favorite recipe on our Facebook wall or tweet it to us on Twitter, you may just see your recipe added to the menu. 

She enjoys the classic!

S’more the Merrier is just one of many new experiences filling our fall activity calendar.  Call 1-800-845-5037 to reserve your stay with Plantation Resort and partake in this fun activity for the whole family.  Your perfect s’more and your perfect vacation are waiting for you.
