Exciting News for Myrtle Beach: Margaritaville Beach Resort Could be Coming Soon!
Well, Myrtle Beach, it looks like we might soon be saying, “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere” on a whole new level! That’s right! Plans for a brand new Margaritaville Beach Resort are heating up, and it’s about to bring some serious fun to our lovely Grand Strand.
Meeting of the Minds
Just the other day, the plans for this hot new resort made their debut in front of the Myrtle Beach Community Appearance Board (CAB). It was the first time in nearly a year that the project was discussed, and let’s just say, it didn’t disappoint. The board members had plenty to chat about, especially since this place is set to **revamp** a vacant parking lot along Ocean Boulevard, right between 17th and 18th Avenue North. I mean, what a location!
This resort won’t just be some small beach spot – oh no! It’s going to be a full-blown complex featuring a hotel, a pool, restaurants, bars, and endless fun. Developers shared that it could stretch back a whopping three rows deep! Cameron Parker from Development Resource Group sweetly assured that this could become a landmark for Myrtle Beach. How amazing would that be?
Design Scrutiny
Of course, when it comes to something this big, everyone has an opinion. The CAB members had mixed feelings about certain design elements, with one member, Seth McCoy, mentioning a few features that might come off as a little *too childish* for the already vibrant Myrtle Beach vibes. But hey, that’s just part of the process. These things take time, and the architects might need to spend a few months tweaking the designs based on feedback before returning for another round with the board.
Excitement from Tourists
Now, let’s talk about the real MVPs here – the tourists! A few folks were at the meeting, and they couldn’t have been more excited about the prospect of a Margaritaville resort in Myrtle Beach. One visitor, Larry Lewis, chimed in with what’s important to him during a getaway: “Good food, nice bar, a place to relax. That’s what we’d like. What better place to hang out than Margaritaville!” And boy, couldn’t we agree more?
Larry and his family have made annual trips to Myrtle Beach and have enjoyed a margarita-filled time at various Margaritaville locations, from Pensacola to Pigeon Forge and beyond. They’re already dreaming of sipping cocktails right here in our town once the resort is up and running. Larry mentioned, “When you’re on vacation, it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere.” Isn’t that the truth?
What’s Next?
As the planning process unfolds, we can only imagine how this resort might bring new *energy* to downtown Myrtle Beach. It seems like the perfect addition to our beautiful beach town, giving residents and tourists alike another great spot to enjoy life, good foods, and flavorful cocktails.
So, dear Myrtle Beach friends, keep your ears to the ground and stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling venture. Who knows? Before we know it, we might just be lounging poolside at Margaritaville, sipping our frozen drinks, and soaking up the sun, all while the clock tells us it’s time for happy hour, anytime!
