GODDESS OF THE SEA
June 2018
The Goddess of The Sea, a bronze statue created by nationally-renowned artist Kristen Visbal, was installed Wednesday, April 18, 2018. The artwork was designed especially for Plyler Park, with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop. The 12 foot high sculpture was more than 10 years in the making. The Goddess of the Sea celebrates Myrtle Beach’s exciting, majestic and playful ocean-side spirit. It represents a major public art installation for the city and is destined to become an iconic landmark for residents and visitors.
