Top Places to Catch Pokémon in Myrtle Beach

Broadway at the Beach is one of the top attractions along the Grand Strand, so its no surprise that it is home to several PokéStops and Gyms. Not only can parents catch a great bargain at the several stores at Broadway at the Beach, but kids will be entertained by catching tons of cool Pokémon and collecting items from the PokéStops. Though there is no surefire way of knowing exactly what types of pocket monsters you can find here, you will most likely run into water Pokémon thanks to Lake Broadway, which is situated in the middle of the entertainment complex. You may also come across some Normal, Bug, Grass, and Flying type Pokémon as Broadway at the Beach is surrounded by grassy areas.

Families love hanging out the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk because there are tons of things to do! Browse shops for souvenirs, grab a bite to eat, and visit attractions like Myrtle Beach Thrill Rides, the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel, Ripley’s attractions, arcades, and more. Luckily for Pokémon fans, the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is also a great spot to catch Pokémon and collect items from PokéStops. Of course, since the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is an oceanfront attraction, you will definitely encounter Normal and Water Pokémon while you’re exploring the area. It is also not uncommon to stumble across a few Psychic Pokémon in this area, too.

If you’re visiting the North Myrtle Beach area during your Myrtle Beach vacation, be sure to stop by Barefoot Landing.

Be sure to check into the multiple PokéStops to collect Poké Balls, eggs, potions, revives, Raz Berries, and more.

In addition to multiple PokéStops, those looking for Pokémon at The Market Common will most likely catch Normal, Grass, Bug, Flying, Water, and Psychic-type Pokémon due to the large amount of grass and the lake in Grand Park.

Brookgreen Gardens is a family-friendly attraction that is home to gorgeous gardens, fantastic sculptures, exhibits, and a Lowcountry Zoo.  You can easily spend the whole day here, exploring the beautiful sights of the property.

If you and your family are having fun playing around at the North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex, why not take a few minutes and find some Pokémon to add to your Pokédex?
