Family Fun and Exciting Attractions in Myrtle Beach

The nearly 2-kilometer-long Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade in the heart of the downtown area is the perfect place to walk or jog as you take in the ocean views. Restaurants catering to all tastes and budgets line the boardwalk next to great shops where you can treat yourself to a souvenir or buy a gift to take home for family and friends. During the summer, you can enjoy free nightly concerts on the boardwalk as well.

With more than 96 kilometers of beautiful beaches, Myrtle Beach is the ideal place to come and work on your tan. Be as active as you like; try kayaking, parasailing and diving, or hop on a boat for a dolphin-watching tour. If that sounds too energetic, then enjoy the beautiful weather and sounds of the gently lapping waves as you lie on the beach.

With enclosed, temperature-controlled gondolas, the SkyWheel offers spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean coastline and is not to be missed. Visit in the evening to see the SkyWheel brighten the sky with its light show that features more than 1 million LED lights. The changing colors are a gorgeous sight to see.

Next, enjoy more than 141 hectares of shopping, dining, activities and nightlife, including several venues to dance the night away, at nearby Broadway at the Beach. At this lively spot, you can lie on a bed of nails and ride a virtual roller coaster at WonderWorks interactive science museum, visit the sharks at Ripley’s Aquarium, ride a zipline, drive bumper cars and watch a film at the cinema. Seeing the frenzy of the fish as you feed them off the boardwalk is also a fun experience.
