Myrtle Beach is no longer a seasonal town. When I was your age you could take a nap in the middle of the street in the off season. They roll year round and there is not really an off season anymore.

The Convention Center is at the corner of 21st and Oak. If you walk east toward the ocean on 21st, then when you get to 17 business, you can go north or south and walk to any number of restaurants for lunch.

If you get out and drive up or down 17, then you can get to more places faster. I'd suggest going to 21st and 17 and go north/south and scout out the restaurants.and there is plenty to eat. If you cruise 17 between 10th and 30th or so there are plenty of places you can drive to in about 2 minutes.

If you go west on 21st toward 17 bypass, then it will take you to Hard Rock and other restaurants at Broadway at the Beach. Save that trip for the evening.

For lunch, I'd go up/down 17 business, near the ocean. It will be much faster.
