The Last Ride, Memories of the Myrtle Beach Pavilion

The 2025 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with the 30-minute film, The Last Ride, Memories of the Myrtle Beach Pavilion, part of the Carolina Stories Series by SCETV.

For nearly 60 years, the Pavilion was synonymous with music, rides and fun in the sun. Like a whirling dervish, it was a heady time at the popular beachfront hangout. Man-on-the-street conversations give viewers a glimpse back in time where teens cruised the strip and beach music ruled, providing momentum for South Carolina's celebrated dance, "The Shag."

The film is free to the public and will be shown at 1 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 24, at the Horry County Museum, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.

The Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2025. For more information, call the Horry County Museum at (843) 915-5320 or e-mail hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov.
