6 Date Ideas for a Romantic Valentine's Day in Myrtle Beach 

Savor a Meal at JEM Social 

Address: 7601 N. Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach, SC 29572

JEM Social has served a special prix fixe Valentine's menu every year since opening in 2022. The restaurant hasn't announced which dishes will be featured this year or what the meal will cost. Based on last year's offer, though, we can expect to see a three-course dinner for two with options like: 

• Caesar, caprese, or pear bacon salad
• New York strip steak or bone-in pork chops (each with two lobster tails on top) for the entree 
• Champagne and a half-dozen strawberries with silky chocolate fondue for dessert 

Take a Walk Through Brookgreen Gardens 

Address: 1931 Brookgreen Drive, Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 

Strolling hand in hand through the lush, manicured greenery of Brookgreen Gardens is sure to delight your date. The attraction spans more than 9,000 acres and includes: 

• Botanical gardens teeming with flowers and trees 
• Sculpture gardens with over 2,000 publicly displayed works  
• The Lowcountry Zoo, an AZA-accredited zoo with animals native to the southeastern United States 

If you and your beloved have exchanged vows at some point, you can even sign up for the gardens' annual Romance in the Gardens event. This special occasion features a vow renewal ceremony under the Live Oak Allée, followed by a celebratory dinner at the Harvest Restaurant. It's not a wedding and has no legal ramifications—it's just a fun way for you and your partner to reaffirm your devotion.  

The Romance in the Gardens event is scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. on February 14th. The cost is $190 per couple, including the ceremony and dinner for two.

You can still visit the gardens from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Valentine's Day if you're not taking part in the event. General admission is $25 for adults or $23 for seniors. 

Enjoy a Taste of Paradise at Island Vista Resort 

Address: 6000 N. Ocean Blvd., Myrtle Beach, SC 29577 

You and your date will feel like royalty sitting down to a meal at one of the scenic Island Vista resort's two restaurants:   

• The Cypress Room, an elegant restaurant with indulgent dishes like filet mignon, seafood fricassee, and Carolina Gold risotto 
• The Captain's Lounge, a more relaxed bar-style eatery serving drinks and simple food like charcuterie boards 

Both restaurants are open daily until 8:30 p.m. Indoor and outdoor seating is available with live entertainment from talented local musicians. 

Attend a Polynesian Fire Luau 

Address: 6803 N. Ocean Blvd., Myrtle Beach, SC 29572

Polynesian Fire Luau offers a pulse-pounding island-inspired dinner experience that feels right at home on the sandy shores of Myrtle Beach. Each performance is a two-hour event with three components:  

• Songs and dances from various Polynesian cultures 
• A buffet of Polynesian-inspired foods like Kalua Pulled Pork and Huli Huli Chicken 
• A thrilling fire knife dancing show 

The show starts around 5 p.m. each evening and ends by 7 p.m. Tickets are $69.99 per person for premium seating (close to the performers) or $59.99 per person for general seating. Reservations are recommended, especially on Valentine's Day. 

Spend a Night Out at the House of Blues 

Address: 4640 Highway 17 S., North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582  

If your date loves music, treat them to a show at Myrtle Beach's House of Blues. The venue has three exciting shows lined up for Valentine's Day weekend: 

• Big Green Tractor: Nashville's Tribute to Jason Aldean at 8 p.m. on Feb. 13 
• Tell Me Lies: The Fleetwood Mac Experience at 8 p.m. on Feb. 14
• Dropkick Murphys: For the People in the Pit at 7 p.m. on Feb. 15 

The first two shows end around 10 p.m. The Dropkick Murphys show runs a little longer, ending around 10:30 p.m. Ticket costs vary by show and seating choice, but you can attend Big Green Tractor or Tell Me Lies for under $25 per person (if you don't mind standing) during the performance. 

Take a Ride Down the Intracoastal Waterway on the Barefoot Queen 

Address: 2051-2 Bridge View Court, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582 

What could be more romantic than sailing down the Intracoastal Waterway at sunset with your sweetheart at your side? The Barefoot Queen will embark on a two-hour cruise at 6 p.m. on Valentine's Day, and they'd love to have you aboard.  

You and your date will enjoy a gourmet candlelit dinner on the deck while listening to live music from local bands. You'll watch the sun settle over the horizon, pass by local points of interest like Barefoot Landing, and bask in the gentle rocking of the waves as you travel down one of the most scenic stretches of coastline near the Grand Strand.  

Tickets are $71.99 per person and include dinner, boat fare, and a rose for your special someone. Book your table early to secure a spot.
