Things To Do in Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach is replete with more than just miles of sand, though the white and gold ribbons lining the coast here are certainly appealing. Thanks to its position by the ocean, some of the best Myrtle Beach activities include boating, swimming, kayaking, parasailing, and scuba diving. Yet, things to do in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, can also appeal to land lubbers. Go on a Jeep® tour, visit the Children’s Museum of South Carolina, or take a few sips at a local winery. Myrtle Beach offers something for every type of traveler.

Areas & Neighborhoods

Myrtle Beach has plenty of surf, and some of the best neighborhoods here are nestled right along the shore. On the other hand, if you head a bit inland you won’t be disappointed with your entertainment options. No matter the style of your travel, Myrtle Beach has a neighborhood for you.

Broadway — This neighborhood, also called Broadway at the Beach, is one of the more popular areas in Myrtle Beach. While you may have to elbow your way to certain attractions thanks to the number of fellow tourists here, you also have access to a vibrant aquarium, nightlife, and seafood.

Cherry Grove Beach — A trip to this part of town is ideal when golfing and fishing are top of mind. The neighborhood is also known for the Cherry Grove Pier, which is perhaps the best place to cast a line into the water. The largest tiger shark ever caught from dry land was wrangled in from the Cherry Grove Pier, so you may as well try your hand at catching some big game.

Barefoot — Other fun things to do in Myrtle Beach have set up shop in Barefoot, where you are met with an entertainment and dining complex most certainly worth an afternoon. More than 100 shops are within walking distance, so if you have a few dollars burning a hole in your pocket…Barefoot is the right neighborhood for your itinerary.
