Every summer the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel lights up the coastline but there’s a shadowy past beneath these neon beams few ever imagine.

This self-guided audio tour invites you to stroll beyond the tourist crowds and dive into the stories hidden along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. Uncover secrets woven into the Pavilion’s carnival laughter and boardwalk planks that saw both celebration—and chaos.

What disaster once left the Pavilion in stunned silence? Which seaside rivalry nearly tore the city in two? And what strange artifact is rumored to be sealed beneath the SkyWheel’s very foundations?

Wind through stories of daring political gambles, waves of rebellion, and moments of scandal that once rocked Myrtle Beach to its core. Each step pulls you closer to the pulse and drama of the city most visitors only glimpse by day.

Unlock the secrets. The real Myrtle Beach is waiting just beneath your feet—let the adventure begin.
