Treat Dad to the best day along the Grand Strand

Paradise Resort has so much to offer, from endless oceanfront views, miles of white sandy beaches, pools, lazy river and of course a cool drink from our Tiki Bar.  But, how can you make dad feel special on his day?

Here are some options for you to look at and plan:

Enjoy a round of golf — or mini-golf: Dads everywhere love to hit the links and greens, and the Grand Strand is known as the Golf Capital of the World for good reason. The “Fantastic Four” courses of Barefoot Resort & Golf are some of the top places to take dad, and you won't miss out on the many  mini-golf courses around the Grand Strand with several within walking distance from Paradise Resort.

Take Dad to the ballpark: Enjoy America’s pastime with Dad on Father’s Day. The Myrtle Beach Pelicans will face off against the Carolina Mudcats at Pelican Ballpark this June 17, and family-friendly promotions for the day include Pre-game on-the-Field Catch; the inflatables, face-painting, and balloon artists that accompany “Ultimate Kids Sunday”; and Post-Game Fireworks and Kids Run the Bases after the final pitch is thrown.

Put Dad behind the wheel — NASCAR-style: Talk about a great gift for dads with a need for speed! The NASCAR Racing Experience at Myrtle Beach Speedway lets Dad ride along or take the wheel for a few laps in a real NASCAR race car, all on a track built to accommodate high speeds.

Catch some waves: For dads who have always wanted to hang ten, a private or group surf lesson (or multiple lessons) from Surf City Surf Shop is a great way to get Dad’s feet wet in the new sport. The North Kings Highway shop also offers stand-up paddleboard lessons and tours.

Drop a line: Treat your fishing-enthusiast father to some tight lines from one of the Grand Strand’s Atlantic Ocean piers. Many of the piers even offer equipment rentals and license/bait sales for those who may have ventured to the coast unprepared.

Pack in some paddling: If your Dad is the type who lives for a day on the water, the Grand Strand offers plenty of great places to soak in the scenery and enjoy some kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding and other water sports, as well as abundant options for equipment rental.

Splurge on a steak dinner: For dads who love a good steak, dinner at Greg Norman Australian Grille provides a fine finale to an awesome Father’s Day. Located at the Barefoot Landing complex, the restaurant is easy to reach — and as a bonus, you can share dinner with Dad while taking in sweeping views of the Intracoastal Waterway.

Top off your big day with Dad by taking him back to the Paradise Resort where he can relax on the balcony and take in the amazing views. Book your Myrtle Beach vacation today — and get ready to show Dad his best Father’s Day yet on the Grand Strand!
