1960's Myrtle Beach

[PorseleinenPoppetje]

wish i could relive the 60's in the usa lol

[MrGdouglas]

There is NO place like Myrtle Beach! Especially in the 50's through the 70's. I miss it so much

[TheRoadster33]

Been going to Myrtle Beach as long as I remember at least since I was 3 (1965) to me its a second home.I Remember the magic I felt at first site of the beach. Remember PirateLand Amusement Park And the cars you could tell what the next big fad in vehicles or add ons were just looking at what's cruzing down the strip to bad that is banned now. Miss those Days.

I worked at the Pavillion in '87.I was a 16 and had the time of my life.Get off work at midnight and cruise ,looking for boys.It was the best time of my life.The Beach was so much fun then....Now,the pavillions gone,alot of the old hotels have been torn down .I know with time comes change...but I would love to go back for a day ;) or maybe a week.

[sgfirebird]

[toobfunnybunny]

[BandB1111111]

Anyone remember a restaurant called AUTO-BURGERS? They had a big car shaped sign on top of the building complete with waiving people and spinning wheels (At least that's what I remember. I was 5 in 1965 and I have this memory but no one else seems to, lol. Please tell me it was true!

[Sweetbug74]

I remember that steel roller coaster at the Pavilion. Shag was made when I was a teen and went there every Summer. My sister and I would cruise around and boys would try to get in our car. She kept me out of trouble... ha ha.

[pawpawgator]

And those pictures may be from a movie, but the movie was shot in MB and they are "the real deal". Anyone remeber Mother Fletcher's when it was behind the Pavillion Amusement Park?

[pawpawgator]

Wow, I am 62, but thesse pictures bring back memoriees that make me feel 18 again!

[aellarex]

@pawpawgator Would you rather go to Heaven or Myrtle Beach? I choose M.B.

[imaginekakada]

[MrMaxxmo]

[beechnutgrl]

There's our turn----69 miles with that purple stuff between my feet in a yellow vw---Judy Stanley and Kay Crews----memories can't be taken away----**(@)**

[mlhm5]

@beechnutgrl i have another video on youtube showing some 60's scenes of MB. Just look under my videos.

[jbolton1969]

Absolutely an award winning video. Thank you for sharing!

[MrMaxxmo]

@jbolton1969 Sorry jbolton1969, Thats not myrtle Beach from the 60's. All that video is are screne captures from the movie "SHAG" made in the 80's.

[krispykremervamp]

[unc7480]

rolling down 17 in '76 talking back and forth with a carload of sunburned girls in cotton sweaters- we made a rendezvous and danced the night away.

Where are those Burlington girls now? God bless those sweethearts.

[adeline603]

GREAT!!

LOVE,

FOLLY BEACH DWELLER

[pdorn777]

This really does capture the era and the place....thanks for the memories!

[cahughes1983]

All this is from 'Shag the Move"

[jloryan29575]

Oddly enough, the dance contest scene of this "Shag" movie was filmed in Atlantic Beach.

[busibeth]

There is/was a black beach a few miles up the road from "Big Myrtle" that is named Atlantic Beach. Most of the black population went there if they went to the Grand Strand area.

[BrianMorrison71]

One thing you won't see in any of these shots is black people. And no, that's not a racist coment. it's just the way it was back then. People tend to forget about segragation. It wasn't that long ago...

[shagmiser]

All of these stills are from "Shag the Movie" with Phobe Cates and Bridgette Fonda. But they are pretty symbolic of that time at the beach. Glad you did this!

[BarbieMB]

Awesome!
