The Myrtle Beach Drive-In was the first out of two drive-ins to be opened in Myrtle Beach, and was located on 1430 S Kings Highway, Myrtle Beach, SC 29578, which a Food Lion now sits in the site as well as a RiteAid. It opened in 1949.

The Myrtle Beach Drive-In changed its name to the Myrtle Drive-In which was a shorten name of its original theater name, and reopened on September 23, 1961 with Walt Disney’s “The Parent Trap”. The theater went back to its original Myrtle Beach Drive-In name in 1968 for only a couple more seasons until closing down in 1969. It was demolished in the early 1970s.
