Ready for Sunshine & Good Times? Let’s Talk Myrtle Beach!
Hey everyone, Katie here! 👋
You know when you just need a vacation that feels like a vacation? Easy, sunny, maybe a little bit nostalgic, and guaranteed fun? Well, let me tell you about one of my absolute favorite recommendations for exactly that feeling: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina!
Myrtle Beach is one of those special places that just gets it. It knows how to do vacation right—we’re talking sun-drenched sand, sparkling ocean waves, delicious seafood, and just the perfect amount of that classic, cheesy fun we all secretly love. It’s not trying to be some super-fancy, exclusive spot. Nope, Myrtle Beach is here with open arms, ready to make sure you have an amazing time and head home with a great tan, a full belly, and probably a few hilarious stories to tell.
Kick Off Your Shoes: The Beach is Calling!
First things first – that glorious beach! Myrtle Beach boasts this wonderfully wide, soft sandy stretch that feels like it goes on forever. It’s honestly perfect for whatever your beach style is. Want to park yourself in a chair with a good book and just soak up the rays? Done. Ready to splash in the waves or teach the kids how to boogie board? Plenty of room! Or maybe just stroll along the edge, listen to the waves, and let that salty air work its magic. It’s pure, simple beach bliss.
Classic Fun on the Boardwalk
Myrtle Beach Skywheel
Ready for a dose of nostalgia and fun? Head to the iconic Myrtle Beach Boardwalk! This is where classic beach vibes meet carnival excitement. Grab a cone of your favorite ice cream, maybe brave a thrilling ride, and definitely take a spin on the SkyWheel for incredible views up and down the coast, especially as the sun starts to set and the neon lights begin to glow. Feel that ocean breeze? That’s the feeling of vacation mode: activated.
Playtime for Everyone (Seriously!)
Okay, golfers, listen up – you’ve basically found your paradise. With over 90 golf courses in the area, Myrtle Beach is legendary for a reason. But hey, maybe your idea of hitting the green involves windmills and dinosaurs? Perfect! Myrtle Beach is also the undisputed champion of mini golf and boasts tons of go-kart tracks. Whether you’re planning a buddies’ golf trip, a family getaway filled with friendly competition, or a couples’ escape, there’s truly a game for every vibe here.
Seafood Feasts & Funky Dinner Shows
You can’t come to the coast without indulging in seafood, right? Myrtle Beach delivers! Picture yourself at a casual waterside shack, digging into piles of fresh shrimp, cracking crab legs, or munching on those addictive hush puppies. And when dinnertime rolls around, if you’re feeling adventurous, dive into the wonderfully kitschy fun of a dinner show. Pirates? Knights? Musical tributes? Myrtle Beach has got ’em, and they are unapologetically entertaining!
And while Myrtle Beach itself has tons to offer, one of the fantastic things about this area is the unique charm of the neighboring towns just a short drive away! Part of the magic here is discovering the distinct personalities right next door:
- North Myrtle Beach: Just up the coast, “NMB” offers its own beautiful wide beaches, perhaps a slightly more relaxed family vibe for some folks, and fantastic shopping, dining, and entertainment hubs like Barefoot Landing. (Plus, it’s the birthplace of the Shag dance!
Â
- Murrells Inlet: Foodies, take note! Head south to the self-proclaimed “Seafood Capital of South Carolina.” You absolutely have to experience the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk – a string of amazing restaurants with stunning salt marsh views, live music filling the air, and incredible sunsets. Plus, the breathtaking beauty of Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park are right there.
- Little River: Venture north towards the state line and discover the quaint fishing village feel of Little River. Picture charter boats heading out from the marina for deep-sea adventures, enjoying the fresh catch of the day, or maybe even trying your luck on a casino cruise.
- Conway: Want a change of pace from the beach? Head just inland to historic Conway. Stroll along the scenic Riverwalk under majestic live oaks, explore the charming downtown shops, and soak in the authentic Southern charm. It feels worlds away, yet it’s so close! And I have to admit, Conway is my favorite part.
Exploring these neighbors adds so much richness to a Myrtle Beach vacation, giving you even more options for dining, activities, and different vibes!
