THE BEACH
You can spend some quality time at the beach if you are an active family or if you are looking for some serious R&R. Myrtle Beach is 60 miles of fun and sun, but it’s best if you apply sunscreen, wear a hat, and pack lots of drinks and snacks for the best results.
Plan a walk to the pier or the Boardwalk. Bring a deck of cards, a good beach read, and sand toys for the kids and you’ll have a great time.

Whether you seek a romantic dinner or a restaurant that won’t mind your rowdy kids, the Grand Strand has you covered. The Melting Pot provides the ambiance for an amorous outing with someone special. Paula Deen’s Family Kitchen welcomes kids and hearty appetites with scrumptious family dining.
Thai-Lao Restaurant is a laid-back place serving Thai and Lao dishes. Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen & Bar offers comfort food and craft cocktails.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR A GREAT BEACH VACATION
As you gear up for summer fun in Myrtle Beach, keep this advice in mind for the most enjoyable time.
SWIM IN GROUPS
It’s for safety, but also more fun to have your people with you, at the pool and in the ocean. Your swimming skills aside, the buddy system is the most effective way to stay safe in the water.
BRING A BIG TOTE
You’ll need towels, that compelling beach read, a Bluetooth speaker, sunglasses, and snacks. Bring sandwich baggies for shells you find and keep your phone safe in the sand and surf.
STAY ACTIVE
If you’re used to running on a treadmill, go for a run on the beach while you’re here. Yoga on the shore? Spectacular. Get out on the water in a kayak or paddle board from local rental outfits.
