Full TOUR of ALL the NEW Attractions at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach! Summer 2026!

Beachin with the Boones

Beachin with the Boones' start-of-summer 2026 tour of everything new at Broadway at the Beach. Filmed in late June, the couple walks the whole complex hunting down the season's new attractions and changes since their last visit — the freshest ground-level record of what Broadway looks like right now.

  • Filmed late June 2026 — the newest Broadway walkthrough in this set
  • Focused on new attractions and seasonal changes
  • Full-complex walk, not just the headliners

The tours

Two channels have made Broadway their beat. Carmen and Brian's benchmark tour walks it district by district — The Avenue dining strip, what's open, what's new, the former Johnny Rockets spot being reworked — and their slow September meander supplies the feel: Adirondack chairs facing the lake at the end. Beachin with the Boones counters with the start-of-summer 2026 tour of everything new, and a Memorial Day full walk in the rain: parking far back, weather doing what it wants, the complex packed anyway.

The $50 question

The closer is the most practical film: the Boones' $50 challenge — can two people do a full day here, fun, food and souvenirs, on fifty dollars? Every price is called out as filmed, from the $26.95 jet boats that would blow half the budget at once to the $10–15 souvenirs that fit it. Watch it before you budget the day.

Key takeaways
  • September visit: prime-season crowds still in evidence
  • Store-browsing pace — Retroactive and the specialty shops get real time
  • Helicopter tours over Broadway are part of the soundtrack
