Things To Do
Myrtle Beach Activities for Couples
Myrtle Beach might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of a romantic vacation, but there are quite a few romantic things to do with a significant other here. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a spontaneous weekend escape, or simply looking to reconnect, the Grand Strand has plenty to do. From picturesque sunrises over the beach to romantic dinner spots and fun outdoor couples activities, the area has something for every set of lovebirds. Below is our list of some of the best things to do in Myrtle Beach for couples.
Romantic Dinner
A timeless classic. A romantic dinner by candlelight. You and your partner sipping wine. If you want to enjoy fine dining in Myrtle Beach there are several restaurants to consider. The variety in the area is great, so whether you like Italian or seafood, or even places where you can throw peanuts on the floor, you have plenty of options.
Long Walks on the Beach
Yes, this may be the most cliche thing you can think of, but let’s face it, walking along the beach is romantic. Unfortunately, Myrtle Beach is on the east coast of the United States, so those hoping for an evening stroll to catch the sunset over the water will be disappointed (not so for you early risers!). Nevertheless, walking along the beach at dusk or dawn can be very soothing.
Enjoy the Scenery
Since you’re already doing some walking, why not go beyond the beach? Myrtle Beach features two state parks complete with bike and nature trails. If you’re looking for an even more romantic setting, look into Brookgreen Gardens. There you’ll get to admire the same beautiful outdoor scenery (with better landscaping).
A Night on the Town
What if the idea of quiet evenings and peaceful strolls doesn’t quite meet your definition of a good time? Then go the opposite route and have a night out on the town! If you and your partner like to have a good time, which may or may not involve dancing, loud music, and alcohol, the Myrtle Beach nightlife scene is exciting year round. Bars and clubs at places like Broadway at the Beach are open every night. Check out our Nightlife page for some great options.
Go Out on the Water
Don’t rule out a day on the ocean, possibly the area’s number one attraction. Your water enjoyment options vary widely from the active, like jet skis and parasailing, to the laid back, such as sunset cruises and dolphin petting.
Catch a Show
Myrtle Beach also has some of the best live entertainment around. The Carolina Opry and Alabama Theatre are area favorites, showcasing world-class entertainers and cutting-edge shows. The House of Blues often has well-known artists playing as well.
