Myrtle Beach, a city and vacation resort on South Carolina’s Atlantic coast, is the hub of the Grand Strand, a 60-mile string of beaches. It’s also known for its celebrity-designed golf courses. Along its beachfront boardwalk are arcades, souvenir stands and restaurants, as well as the old-fashioned Family Kingdom amusement park and the SkyWheel, one of the country’s tallest Ferris wheels.
There is much on offer, but here are a few of our favorite things to do in Myrtle Beach!
60 MILES OF BEACHES
We'd be remiss if we didn't start with the reason people know us as The Beach. From Cherry Grove, North Myrtle Beach and Atlantic Beach on the north end, to Surfside Beach, Garden City Beach, Litchfield Beach and Pawleys Island in the south, our oceanfront real estate is everyone's favorite feature. Whatever your preferred beach activity — Frisbee, volleyball, surfing, swimming, or lounging — we've got the space to play at your own speed. That sound you hear is the Atlantic, and it's calling for you. Why haven't you started packing yet?
MORE THAN 2,000 RESTAURANTS TO CHOOSE FROM
From beachfront fish frys to seaside tiki bars to quirky themed restaurants for kids, we pair real tasty food with a real good time. With 60 miles of beach and over 2,000 restaurants, your best self shines when you dine at The Beach. Enjoy beach views and live music at the many restaurants right along the waterfront. Wander over to the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, you'll find yourself in the "seafood capital of South Carolina" with a string of top-notch restaurants serving up hook to plate seafood. Try international cuisines, local southern flavors, or fine dining - whatever you are in the mood for. We're big on the fun, authentic experiences that can only come from enjoying the foods you love with your favorite people.
GREAT GOLF ON AND OFF THE COURSE!
With approximately 90 quality courses, many designed by some of the legends of the game, Myrtle Beach is a golfer's paradise. We're often called the golf capital of the world, and it's easy to see why. One of our courses even played a pivotal role in the evolution of "Sports Illustrated," hosting the magazine's first sales conference a few weeks before the debut of its first issue in 1954. With all this history and all these choices, the only links you should travel to are the ones right here along the Grand Strand. And we have more than just regular golf too! Did you know Myrtle Beach has over 30 mini golf courses? You can test your putt-putt skills in wildly themed courses from jungle safaris to shipwrecks. Then head over to TopGolf to practice your swing some more while enjoying drinks and snacks on their elevated driving range.
