KID-FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES

How much fun can you have in Myrtle Beach if you have to leave your kids behind? Wait, don’t answer that. We kid. You’ll have a blast at these spots.

1. WonderWorks

Learning is so much fun in a place like this, with hands-on science exhibits and a 6D motion ride. Zipline with the kids, or find your family’s groove in laser tag or the ropes course. Children can get lost in wonder in a place like this, and that’s the whole idea.

PERFECT FOR THE SOLO TRAVELER

Sometimes, you want to go it alone. That means no compromise on where you can go — and all the snacks are yours and yours alone.

1. Hit the beach

If you’re taking a solo trip, you might want a little solitude. It’s right there, on the shore, which is accessible from many beachfront properties. Whether it’s a morning run, an afternoon with a good read, or a sunset stroll, you’ll find your peace here.

2. Music on Main

Every Thursday, from June to October, enjoy the beach, country, and pop-rock live in this free event. Bring a beach chair but you might leave it behind to boogie.
