Things to Do
The Beach
When visiting Myrtle Beach, there's nothing better than going to the beach and curling your sand in the toes and hearing the waves break along the coast. Of course, you could always go to the beach to lay out and get a tan, but you can also go and set up some chairs and an umbrella in order to relax the day away. One of the best feelings in the world is getting hot from the sun and then diving head first into the refreshing ocean. Bum your vacation away on the beautiful South Carolina coast and, when the sad day comes that you have to pack your things and leave, you'll be left with nothing but happy memories.
Piers
Whether you want to just take a stroll or go fishing, visiting the many piers along the Grand Strand is always a fun activity for avid beachgoers. There are several piers in the area, and many charge just a small fee for walking, while others even rent out fishing equipment and cook up delicious eats in on-site restaurants. During the summer months, you can even catch live music, karaoke, fireworks, and more, at select piers!
Water Parks
Take a break from the beach but don't take a break from fun! Instead, head on over to Myrtle Waves, Wild Water & Wheels, or Splashes Oceanfront Waterpark for some awesome water park antics. Float down a lazy river, scream down some slides, or have a blast in the wave pool. No matter what you do at any of these water parks, just be sure to have a good time!
Watersports
While you'll probably spend most of your vacation time relaxing on the beach, why not try having some fun in the sun? Myrtle Beach is home to tons of watersports companies that provide guests the opportunity to experience enthralling activities such as parasailing, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, surfing, jet skiing, scuba diving, boating, and more. If you're looking to try something different on your beach vacation, be sure to book a day playing in the water.
