Myrtle Beach Train Depot

Myrtle Beach Train Depot is an event venue in Myrtle Beach, SC. The city operates the building and makes it available to groups for meetings, committees, receptions, activities, and parties.

Built in 1937 by Atlantic Coastline Railroad and The Chapin Company, the depot was originally designed to provide a transportation link between the mainland and the beach. It served as the city’s activity hub for three decades before being sold in 1967. After a public campaign saved the structure from demolition, the city purchased the building and land. The Myrtle Beach All Aboard Committee raised funds to restore the structure and list it on the National Register of Historic Places. The restoration project included removing an added maintenance garage, replacing the roof, and restoring wooden and concrete flooring, original trim, ceiling boards, and beams. The restored depot opened on May 6, 2004, and received the SC Historic Preservation Honor Award from the S.C. Department of Archives and History in 2005.

The venue features a great hall with exposed wood trusses, plank flooring, brick walls, and sliding freight doors. Two additional spaces complement the historic building: a renovated boxcar converted into a meeting room with glass windows, a conference table, restroom, and computer display capability, and a red caboose turned into a catering kitchen with warming and refrigeration options. These railcars are available for rent either with the Depot or separately.

Myrtle Beach Train Depot offers a historic setting for events in Myrtle Beach, combining preserved architecture with functional spaces for gatherings.

The Myrtle Beach Train Depot sits on Broadway St, just a tenth of a mile from Main Street and North Kings Highway. It is located near Mount Atlanticus Miniature Golf and Nance Plaza, both within a short walk of the venue.
