Oceanfront Playground!…read more This is probably my favorite place in Mrtyle Beach. There are lots of activities for the young and old. Bungee, speed boats, zip line, rollercoaster, small rides, tons of bars/eateries and a Ferris wheel plus it's all on the ocean! There are a variety of shops selling the usual fare of souvenirs, tshirts and shot glasses....but it's a nice walkable area and and couldn't help but notice how clean the boardwalk area and strip was. There was even a Starbucks. lol In all, I truly enjoyed my time here and definitely recommend as a stop when visiting Myrtle Beach.

There are lots of activities for the young and young at heart throughout this outside mall area. It's kinda a touristy spot as you have many attractions $ including: Bungee, Speed Boat Experience, zip line, small rides, a Ferris wheel, a theater. Not to mention it's all on the ocean. There are a variety of shops selling the usual fare, but it's a nice walkable area with much to offer throughout your walk experience. I picked up a few things for gifts to bring home and really enjoyed my time with family here. FYI- The highly anticipated Ole Smoky Distillery and Yee-Haw Brewing Co. is opening tomorrow and would have really of liked to experience that as Paula Deans was super disappointing. *On a good note- Guy Fieri's Flavor Town will be a gigantic space within Myrtle Beach and opens in June.*

This is a very beautiful and clean stretch of beach. We spent a few days here for our anniversary…read more In early may it was not overly crowded. We felt like we had plenty of space on the beach away from others. The waves were really rolling. Did not see any lifeguards out at the area where we were. Though they must be there as we did see a few rescue trucks drive by while we were out playing on the water. The water was a little cold upon first touch but felt good after getting acclimated to it. Watched the sunrise over the beach the last morning we were in the area. Love myrtle beach.

The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is where you will find the bulk of the town's hotels, family tourist…read moreattractions, restaurants, and souvenir shops. Along the 1.4-mile-long promenade, you will also find multiple stages, which feature concerts as well as arcades and other entertainment. Well, to be honest, It was okay for me. I am from the jersey area and we have point pleasant beach & boardwalk, ashbury, wildwood, Seaside heights, and ofcourse Atlantic city... so might be I was expecting it more - so it was just okay for me. After 2 blocks, I was like where is the rest of the boardwalk? But then it was all Promenade. The Boardwalk starts at the 14th Avenue North pier and winds down through Plyler Park to the 2nd Avenue Pier. There are also several arcades located on the boardwalk, such as Family Kingdom Amusement Park. Myrtle Beach Boardwalk & Promenade is not your average boardwalk. Instead of just a straight wooden street meandering along the oceanfront, you'll find separate sections with their own character, just waiting to immerse you in coastal fun.

Everything was pretty much closed, and shops-hotels looked outdated and run down. I expected more for Myrtle Beach but it's possibly more lively during spring or summer.

While it might seem obvious, the main attraction in Myrtle Beach is the beautiful stretch of…read morewhite-sand beach along the city's oceanfront, which extends for a total of 60 miles. (not every beach offers this wide and long area)... Some spots along the Carolina shore offer opportunities for water sports like Jet Skiing or deep-sea fishing, while other areas are better for relaxing or playing with your children. You'll also find a few spots perfect for casting a line for a fresh catch. And ofcourse 3 Piers along the beach adds fun to its never-ending list of TO Dos. The city's public beach is quite busy due to plentiful tourists but it's family-oriented, clean, and safe. This is the place to go with your entire family! The beach is public so you don't have to pay for entrance. The area is handicapped accessible.

We spent a good 2 1/2 hrs on the beach, and the owner/educator, Angela, spent a lot of time ensuring that we found good spots to dig and left with some teeth--none of which were planted there, which made the adventure all the better because it was authentic! She even clued us in to where and when we were most likely to see actual sharks, and her tip led to two shark sightings later that day (from the safety of a pier). I highly recommend this for all ages, groups or singles!
