My family camped in Lake Arrowhead Campground many times when I was a kid. I have a LOT of great memories in Myrtle Beach. We probably started camping there about 1965. It has become my favorite vacation spot.
The Ocean Forest Hotel was an architectural gem for MB and very historic. Should never have been torn down. They should have restored it and kept it as a landmark.
The Hawaiian Village!!!!!! I haven't seen that place since 1974! And then it burned down in '75. The inside of that place was, to a small boy, purely magical with its streams and the waterfall and the little stars in the ceiling!
Hello, that first photo was the Ocean Forest Hotel , I worked there years ago when I was younger, I worked in the kitchen, does anybody remember Dino ? He was the head Chef.
Hello Retro Dreams, I use to work at the Ocean Forest Hotel,,,,,then later I worked at Mammy's Kitchen too. back in the 1960's.....John Steelman from North Carolina.
Why aren't there any photos of the old candy castle candy shop from the 1970s and 1980s?. The building looked like a castle and was painted in pastels. We went there on our family trips to Myrke Beach when I was a child. No pictures or videos have been found when I search.
I used to work at the Ocean Forest Hotel years ago, we slept in the Bull Pen I think the name of it was. It was across the street from the Hotel , anyone remember this place ? I worked for Dino in the kitchen. Used to swim in the Pool too....until we got caught.....the man said this pool was for the guest only. This was about 50 years ago...had more memroies too, but can't recall right now.
The awesome memories that came flooding back
Thanks for sharing.

I was 10 years old and l always liked to remember Myrtle Beach looking like this.
I was one then. If I could go back then and know what I know now
I was -2. You are correct, Bill Gates would be a close friend and business partner

Good ole days

1965 - the year I was born! Does the Ocean Forest hotel still exist? Mammy's Kitchen is still there. These are wonderful old films.
I think Wacky Golf is still around too!
Ocean Forest Hotel was demolished in early 1970s.
That's a shame.

Myrtle Beach was a beautiful area,,,,,,,,,too delveloped now and the beauty is almost gone.....nothing last forever
Is that much worse now? It was pretty nice when i went last summer just crowded tbh
What stands now at the site of the Ocean Forest hotel?
I believe the "Ocean Forest Villas" condos are now on that site.
A bunch of ugly 80s-style condos with no character whatsoever.
