THE PRACTICAL SIDE / MYRTLE BEACH

Know before you go.

Choose Myrtle Beach when you want the Boardwalk, oceanfront attractions, and a beach day within the same part of town. Check each rental’s actual beach access and parking arrangements before you book.

01GET TO THE SAND

Find your beach access.

Use South Carolina’s public beach access map to locate an entry point near your rental. An ocean view does not always mean direct beach access.

THE LOCAL DAYBOOK / MYRTLE BEACH

A day worth making your own.

The oceanfront is only one version of Myrtle Beach. Pick the kind of day your group wants, then check the details at the places you choose.

01FOR A SLOWER START

Take the forest path to the sea.

Myrtle Beach State Park puts a maritime forest trail, fishing pier, and beach in one park. It charges admission and can be busy on summer weekends. Look at the park’s current alerts before you set out, especially if the pier or a particular trail matters to you.

02FOR THE BRIGHTER HOURS

Choose your kind of lights.

The oceanfront Boardwalk and Broadway at the Beach are separate destinations. The Boardwalk is for a walk by the water, arcades, and the SkyWheel; Broadway groups shops, dining, and attractions around a lake. Check individual venue hours before you go.
