Job Hunting

Popular areas for jobs in Myrtle Beach are Broadway at the Beach and Family Kingdom amusement park (E-mail: resources@family-kingdom.com). The majority of J1ers in Myrtle Beach work in either of these locations, so they’re definitely worth looking into. 

Apart from those, there are plenty of restaurants, shops and cafés around the area of Broadway at the Beach.  To name a few, Hard Rock Cafe and Joe's Crab Shack.

Another possibility is Restaurant Row, loads of busy restaurants such as Giant Crab or Garcia’s hire J1 students each summer. Ocean Boulevard has plenty of work, including amusements, bars and diners etc. Some restaurants to try are; Mammy's Kitchen, Peaches Corner and Italian Ice (an ice cream brand that has multiple locations). Other favourites include Dunkin’ Donuts & Baskin Robbins.

You can also try North Strand Beach Services Inc. for jobs in the service industry.

For any certified lifeguards, North Strand Beach Services Inc. (Phone: +1 843-385-3058) would be a great place to apply for a job. North Strand Beach Service is always looking for individuals who enjoy working with people, possess good moral character, and have high standards for health and physical fitness.
