One of the things that draws so many (up to around 20 million annually) visitors to Myrtle Beach each year is the availability and variety of fun things to do. From shopping at places like the iconic Gay Dolphin Gift Cove to dining at one of over 2,000 restaurants in the area to enjoying an afternoon at Boardwalk at the Beach, you could never run out of activities. And since 1938, the same year Myrtle Beach was incorporated, the Fun Plaza has been a part of this thriving entertainment scene, providing an air-conditioned video arcade in Myrtle Beach for those looking for fun during their beach vacation.
