  Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

For everyone from tiny tots to grandparents, Myrtle Beach is the foremost destination of spring breakers. Its Southern hospitality is a welcome break from the daily grind. Sixty miles of beaches, abounding attractions and sunny weather make this a trip your family will want to relive every spring!

With more than 100 shops and a dozen restaurants, Barefoot Landing is the center of Myrtle Beach entertainment. Visit Alligator Adventures to see tons of reptiles. Then feast on a smorgasbord of fun with everything from show tunes to hilarious comedians at Alabama Theatre’s “One — The Show”. Cast a line at Cherry Grove Pier, and then mosey to The Pavilion, a “mini” theme park great for just hanging out together.

On the fairways, a Kids Play Free program allows children the chance to play with a paying adult companion. Nearly 50 mini golf locations are also great for a less serious day of swinging. To the south, quaint beach towns, historical landmarks and unique natural habitats create a quieter Myrtle Beach. Explore the Low Country History & Wildlife Preserve by jeep or pontoon, and the nature center at Myrtle Beach State Park is another way to pique your kids’ interest in wildlife. Pack a picnic for lunch by a Moorish castle in Huntington Beach State Park. Ranger-led programs or a Coastal Exploration field trip are captivating ways to complete the day.
