\"Things<\/p>\n

Explore Myrtle Beach, the Ultimate Spot for Sun, Sand, and Smiles!<\/h4>\n

People love visiting Myrtle Beach for good reason. It’s filled with things to do, with something for all ages to engage in and enjoy. Some people visit the area from other countries, as well as from nearby states, and many like it so much that they make an effort to come back time and time again. The more people learn about what a family-friendly destination<\/strong> Myrtle Beach is, the more they can’t wait to make it their next vacation spot.<\/p>\n

With it being a destination that has something for all ages, Myrtle Beach has become one of the most popular tourist destinations on the East Coast.<\/strong> Considered the jewel of South Carolina, it offers mild annual temperatures and plenty of days filled with sunshine. With over 400 hotels, there are plenty of accommodations for those planning their next family-friendly getaway.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the top things<\/strong> families will want to add to their itinerary when visiting Myrtle Beach:<\/p>\n

Boardwalk<\/h3>\n

Be sure to stroll the over-a-mile-long oceanfront boardwalk. Families will get their steps in for the day as they stop in the shops, have lunch at one of the restaurants, take a ride on the SkyWheel<\/a>, and enjoy the beautiful scenery every step of the way. Places like Barefoot Landing<\/a> and Broadway at the Beach<\/a> are a must when visiting the area.<\/p>\n

WonderWorks<\/h3>\n

While most people love the beach, spending all day outdoors can be hard. Heading inside a place like WonderWorks<\/a> gives families a great place to have fun while staying out of the sun for a bit. WonderWorks offers over 100 hands-on interactive exhibits and activities for guests of all ages. It is focused on STEM, giving people a chance to learn as they have fun and make memories. WonderWorks is also home to one of the most thrilling experiences in Myrtle Beach during the warmer seasons, the Soar + Explore zipline<\/a>, sending participants soaring 50 feet above water on a course that travels 1,000 feet between towers.<\/p>\n

Mini Golf<\/h3>\n

The Myrtle Beach area has over 80 championship golf courses, but those with younger kids may be looking for some mini golf. They will find numerous options to choose from, with places that turn into an epic experience, giving people a chance to put through a variety of fun courses.<\/p>\n

Water Parks<\/h3>\n

Those ready to get wet but avoid the sea life can head to one of the area’s water parks. Take on 22 slides at Myrtle Waves<\/a>, South Carolina\u2019s largest water park, or stay and play with some parks conveniently located inside resorts. There are options for everyone wanting to make a splash.<\/p>\n

Beaches<\/h3>\n

With 60 miles of white sandy beaches<\/a>, no trip to the area would be complete without taking at least a few hours on the beach. Stay and play, build a castle, walk, or relax to the sights and sounds. The area is a popular beach destination spot, and for good reason.<\/p>\n

Amusement Parks<\/h3>\n

Places like the Family Kingdom Amusement Park<\/a> never disappoint. It has 37 rides open to all ages, giving parents and kids a place to laugh together. Whether challenging each other to go-kart races or going hand-in-hand on a thrill ride, there is something for everyone.<\/p>\n

Myrtle Beach offers a plethora of museums, amusement parks, dining, shopping, and more. There are plenty of things to do for families with all ages in their group. Planning a great trip starts with choosing both indoor and outdoor activities so there will be a balance of outings for everyone.
