2024 Rainy Day Activities Guide

For families travelling to the beach, or fishermen carrying tackle/coolers, a beach cart can be the best purchase of your vacation. These carts feature extra-wide wheels to move across soft sand, even when loaded. Carts are often built for specific scenarios, so think about the gear you’d be putting on your cart before making a decision.

Beach canopies and umbrellas create shade, lower ambient temperatures and block UV rays on hot, sunny Summer days. Sitting under the canopy of a quality beach umbrella can make the difference between comfort and sweltering. When choosing an umbrella, we look for durability, wind ratings, weight and size.

Visitors who want to be close to all the action of the Grand Strand, but stay in a relatively quieter community, will fall in love with Surfside Beach. This small beach town located just south of Myrtle Beach, and located only 8 miles from the Myrtle Beach International Airport, is a great representative sample of all the grand attractions, lodging options, amenities and activities that its more populated neighbors have to offer, but with the relaxed atmosphere of a smaller beach getaway.

Myrtle Beach, SC is a popular destination for fishing enthusiasts, offering a variety of fishing opportunities both inshore and offshore. The area is known for its abundant saltwater fishing, which includes species such as red drum, spotted seatrout, flounder, king mackerel, and more. Inshore fishing is a popular choice for those looking for a relaxed day on the water and an opportunity to catch a variety of fish species in the calmer waters near the coast. Offshore fishing, on the other hand, offers a more intense fishing experience as anglers venture out into the Atlantic Ocean to target larger gamefish such as tuna, wahoo, and marlin. Myrtle Beach is also home to a number of freshwater fishing opportunities, including the Waccamaw River and numerous lakes and ponds. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, the Myrtle Beach area offers a range of fishing opportunities for all levels of experience.
