Beach Music is played in North Myrtle Beach. You probably know what Beach Music is if you have ever visited NMB. Frequent the clubs and lounges on Main Street in Ocean Drive to hear it daily. If you haven’t heard of it, you need to hear the music we call “Carolina Beach Music”. There are many recollections of how it got started. People that live in North Myrtle Beach will say it started here in the Grand Strand area of South Carolina. There are several cities and towns in North Carolina that also claim to be the birthplace. It doesn’t matter where it started. If you are a fan of the music and the official state dance of SC, you need to visit North Myrtle Beach. Plan to visit as much as possible to shag on the dance floors and listen to the best music in the world.
SOS – 3 Times a Year in NMB
Some of the biggest events in Beach Music happen in North Myrtle Beach, SC. Plan to attend SOS, which stands for Society of Stranders. They throw some major parties. Spring Safari, Fall Migration and Midwinter Break are held every year. The clubs on Main Street feature live bands and DJs for 10 days in the Spring and Fall. The first event of the year, Midwinter Break, is a long weekend in January. You will have to check out the schedule for various workshops and other events they have during the year. Membership is currently $35/year if you purchase from one of the Member Shag Clubs or participating clubs.

“I LOVE BEACH MUSIC”!! I did not grow up in MB, but I did grow up in SE NC where we partied/shagged at the Embers Club in Atlantic Beach, NC, also the clubs in Greenville, NC and Red’s in Raleigh!!! Such a fun time growing up in the late 60’s and 70’s!!!
Nothing like those Debutante parties with live beach bands down at the beach!!! Woohoo! Fun memories!! ❤
Absolutely, I Like Beach Music. I love coming to the beach and seeing all the bands at Fat Harold’s. I hope to get back to the beach for the big festival in May this year.
