North Myrtle Beach Fall Fun
Seaside Vacations, The Myrtle Beach Experts, offers gorgeous
North Myrtle Beach oceanfront condos and beach house rentals with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. Picture yourself, sitting on your balcony, overlooking the infinite blue ocean overcome with a sense of peace and tranquility. You deserve to take time out of your life to experience this soul searching sense of absolute calm. Walk down to the ocean and dig your feet into the sand and stay absolutely still as the waves gradually cover the tops of your feet with thousands of fine granules of white sand. The gravitational pull of the ocean beckons you out to the sea. But you keep your feet firmly planted and the feeling becomes even more intense. Overhead, the full moon shines brightly, mysteriously almost, making you think of fall and Halloween and Thanksgiving.
North Myrtle Beach celebrates the fall in its own “beachy” fashion. Fall is a great time to visit North Myrtle Beach. The weather is still very nice and there are plenty of activities for every member of the family. You will have fun playing putt putt, driving bumper cars, riding the Sky Wheel or going to some of the theatres and shows that Myrtle Beach is so famous for!

Temperatures dropped the other day for just a few hours and it felt like fall, even for just a minute. That brought to mind things like picking out pumpkins for the kids to help carve and drinking warm cider and hot chocolate. As much as I love the warm weather, when you live on the beach you sometimes miss those cold weather activities. Not too often of course – well, actually rarely – which is what makes me a beach lover!
I thought that it would be great fun to celebrate Halloween – Beach style! This would include dressing up and walking the beach in your favorite costume. Getting together with friends around a campfire or your backyard pit and sharing some of these adorable appetizers and a hot cup of cider! (Alcohol optional!)
Frankenweiners:
1. Pillsbury dough or crescent rolls
2. Hot dogs
3. Mustard or ketchup for eyes
Cut the dough into strips and wrap the hot dogs into mummies. Bake for 15 minutes at 400° Add mustard or ketchup dots for eyes. You could cut the hot dogs in half for mini mummies.
Freaky Fingers:
Use Pillsbury bread stick dough. Cut them in half, roll into finger shapes. Add almonds for the fingernails. (I painted mine with red food coloring). Use a knife to make knuckle markings and bake.
Mummy Meatloaf 
- 1 pound ground meat
- 1/2 package of breakfast sausage
- 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- BBQ sauce or Ketchup (I like BBQ sauce best)
- 6-8 lasagna noodles, cooked
- 2 slices of cheese
- 2 black or green olives for eyes
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Combine meat, sausage, breadcrumbs and egg in a bowl.
- Coat a round glass bowl with cooking spray. This will go in the oven, so make sure it is oven safe.
- Shape mixture inside the bowl.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes until done.
- While it’s baking cook some lasagna noodles for the mummy wrap. (slice off the curly edges after they are cooked.)
- Cover meatloaf with BBQ sauce or Ketchup.
- Add cheese and olives for eyes, then wrap with lasagna.
