Ocean View Hotels in Myrtle Beach



Book a suite in any of the ocean view Myrtle Beach hotels to watch the shimmering water and skyline from the comfort of your balcony. Since the shore is home to a variety of resorts, it’s possible to find cheap ocean view hotels in Myrtle Beach offering sights similar to luxury resorts on the coast. Forest Dunes, Carolina Winds, and Dunes Village are among the hotels with the best ocean views in Myrtle Beach, because these properties are right on the shoreline where fewer neighboring high-rises are blocking the scenery.

Ocean view rooms at Myrtle Beach hotels are more expensive than suites with city views, but they are cheaper than fully oceanfront accommodations, a distinction anyone can take advantage of to enjoy the oceanscape without overspending. Most Myrtle Beach hotels classify their rooms as city, oceanfront, or ocean view online so you don’t need to make special requests to get the scenic overlook you’d like. But if it isn’t clear online what you can expect of each room type’s view, call the resort to confirm whether your suite will offer the skyline view you want.

For most, getting an ocean view room rather than an oceanfront room isn’t a deal-breaker because the water looks gorgeous from nearly any angle, and a skewed vantage point can include attractive greenery, bright city lights, and pool decks. If you’re an active vacationer unlikely to spend a good deal of time in your room, you’ll still see crashing waves and sunsets while out enjoying the hotel’s oceanfront pool, restaurant, and tanning lawn.
