The SOS Spring Safari is an annual celebration in Myrtle Beach that places a focus on bringing the beach fun of yesteryear to the masses in modern times. The focus of the festival is placed upon the beach dance craze known as “The Shag,” with competitions taking place throughout the week. Of course, you don’t need to have any previous expertise in “The Shag” to enjoy the events. Other than competitions, there will be a parade, dance workshops and live entertainment for a general time of fun and revelry. This year’s SOS Spring Safari is scheduled to be held from April 18 - 27 at various locations along Ocean Drive.
To truly encompass yourself in the beach lifestyle, you’ll definitely want to find beachfront lodging. Luckily, that’s no problem in Myrtle Beach. There are a variety of popular lodging options, ranging from Breakers to Hilton, offering exquisite accommodations just steps from the calming beach.
And while the SOS Spring Safari will provide more than enough in the way of great times, you probably won’t see much of the ocean past the packed beaches. However, with a visit to Ripley’s Aquarium you’ll be able to gain a full perspective of the ocean from its peaceful beaches to the complex ecosystem that thrives below the water’s surface. In particular, Ripley’s Aquarium features a 750,000 gallon tank filled with a wide variety of aquatic life.
