We don?t have to! The weather here is quite pleasant year round and there are always plenty of fun things to do around Myrtle Beach and Surfside Beach. Following are some of our favorites.Oyster RoastDon?t miss the Oyster Roast buffet by reservation only at Ripley?s Aquarium on Saturday, January 23 from 2-5 p.m. Come and enjoy all-you-can-eat oysters, 2 beer tickets, crackers, beef chili, corn nuggets and more!
