 Ahoy matey! There is a new and exciting adventure sailing into Myrtle Beach this summer. After 19 years of crowd pleasing entertainment, on December 31st, we said good-bye to one of the Grand Strand’s favorite attractions; the Dixie Stampede, as they performed for the last time. The former Dixie Stampede has taken on an $11 million transformation, and after much renovation, on June 3, 2011 will become Pirates Voyage. Owner, Dolly Parton has decided to give the returning, as well as new, vacationers something new and exciting to look forward to when they visit Myrtle Beach on their family vacation. This Fun, Feast, and Adventure will feature a buccaneer battle with a pirate’s feast. They will keep you involved in the theme, and having an unforgettable time from the moment you arrive. They even have something planned for us outside, where there are lagoons for the pre-show area. As you enter, you will see the enormous 750,000 gallon lagoon, complete with full size pirate ships, and battling pirates. The pirates will perform nightly, with acrobatics on the ships, in the water, and in the air. Encouraging guests to cheer on their own pirate team, will keep you involved throughout the show. One of our favorite features of the former Dixie Stampede show, was the delicious feast that complemented the amazing entertainment. You will be pleased to know that this has stayed the same, and you will still be served up a mouth-watering pirate feast!
Hope you landlubbers are hungry! Voyager Creamy Vegetable Soup, Buccaneer Bread, Half O’ Roasted Crackler (Chicken), BBQ Pork Shank, Crispy Fried Shrimp, Cob O’ Buttery Corn, Mashed and Flogged Taters, and Apple O’ Me Eye Pie for dessert…Yum!
For many of the locals, and returning vacationers to the Grand Strand, this is a bittersweet moment. We hate to see such a longtime family favorite leave Myrtle Beach, but we are so excited to check out what they have in store for us. Follow updates and progress on their Pirates Voyage website or Facebook page. There will be 1,000 seats for spectators in the audience, but call ahead to reserve your seating because this is going to be a “must see” for vacationers to the Grand Strand this year. You don’t want to be left “walking the plank”!
When booking your family vacation this year, let Beach Realty help you plan a memorable experience. Stay in one of their oceanfront or ocean view vacation beach homes, and enjoy being located on the beach, as well as close to several Myrtle Beach attractions.

In May 2011 there will be a new way to view the Myrtle Beach scene, like never before. Have you ever wondered what the coastline looks like from hundreds of feet in the air? Now you will be able to see for yourself. Located at the Oceanfront Boardwalk and Promenade, will be the new SkyWheel. This unique 200 foot observation wheel will include 42 gondolas.
