Visit Myrtle Beach Launches “Myrtle Moments: Faces & Places of The Beach”

New podcast and video series celebrates more than 30 local attractions

Every favorite vacation spot has a story. Visit Myrtle Beach’s new original podcast and video series, “Myrtle Moments: Faces & Places of The Beach,” invites audiences to discover ours.

Featuring more than 30 local businesses and organizations, Season 1 introduces viewers and listeners to the people behind the experiences that define a Grand Strand getaway. It’s an opportunity to get to know a favorite place a little better, discover something unexpected and meet the people who help turn a trip to The Beach into a lasting memory.

All episodes are now available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and the Visit Myrtle Beach website. VMB will continue spotlighting the series and its featured partners throughout the fall and through the end of 2026, sharing episode features, video vignettes and social highlights.

Local Faces. Favorite Places.
New Discoveries.

From the fun of Family Kingdom Amusement Park to the flavors of Big Mike’s, the hospitality of Avista Resort, the natural beauty of Myrtle Beach State Park and the character of Downtown Conway, the series explores the many experiences that make The Beach its own kind of destination.

At the heart of those experiences are local people with stories to tell. Their personalities, pride and connection to the community give audiences a more personal introduction to the Grand Strand.

For first-time visitors, the show offers inspiration for where to go and what to experience. For returning guests, it’s a chance to discover a new favorite or learn something surprising about a familiar stop. For our partners, it’s another way to connect with travelers and share what makes their businesses special.

Bringing Our Partners’ Stories to Life

“Myrtle Moments: Faces & Places of The Beach” gives local tourism businesses a spotlight across several platforms, making it easy for audiences to discover the show in whatever way they enjoy most.

Viewers can explore The Beach through full-length video episodes on YouTube. Podcast listeners can take the stories along on a commute, a walk or the drive to their next getaway. Shorter partner features and social highlights bring individual places and personalities to audiences throughout the season.

Each format opens another door to discovery. A short clip might introduce someone to a restaurant they’ve never tried. A partner’s story might inspire a family to add a stop to their itinerary. An episode might remind a longtime visitor why they’re ready to return.

For VMB, this is an opportunity to connect destination marketing directly to the local businesses and organizations that make a vacation memorable. By sharing their stories across video, audio, social media and the web, the series gives travelers more ways to get to know our partners before they arrive.

A New Way to Make a Myrtle Moment

The series is the latest extension of the Myrtle Moments campaign, which celebrates the experiences that make visitors feel connected to The Beach.

Throughout 2026, the campaign has come to life through a market-wide lodging deal and direct mailer, television spots and the ongoing “Make Your Myrtle Moment” contest reaching college sports audiences this fall and winter. New television spots will also debut soon for the 2027 season.

“Faces & Places of The Beach” brings another dimension to that storytelling by letting audiences hear directly from the people who help create those moments every day.

The series celebrates the connection between our tourism businesses and the experiences visitors take home: a warm welcome, a memorable meal, a day of family fun or an unexpected discovery. Together, those moments tell the story of The Beach—and give travelers new reasons to make it part of their own.
