Things to Do in Myrtle Beach This Summer (Y’all Won’t Be Bored!)

Whether you’re a local or just lucky enough to visit, Myrtle Beach in the summertime is pure magic. The ocean breeze, sweet tea in hand, and something fun always just around the corner—it’s no wonder folks keep coming back year after year. If you’re wondering how to fill your sunny days, we’ve got you covered like SPF 50.

1. Soak Up the Sun on the Beach

It’s the obvious one, but we had to say it: Myrtle Beach’s sandy shores are the star of the show. Bring your chair, your cooler, and your crew—then let the waves wash your worries away. Early mornings and golden hour are our favorites for that picture-perfect calm.

2. Stroll the Boardwalk

There’s nothing like an evening on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk—live music, fresh funnel cake, and the smell of saltwater in the air. Don’t skip the SkyWheel for views that’ll knock your flip-flops off.

3. Fireworks & Festivals Galore

From Fourth of July fireworks at Broadway at the Beach to summer-long celebrations at Barefoot Landing, there’s always something lighting up the sky. Bonus: most of them are free family fun.

4. Cool Down at a Waterpark

When it’s hotter than a pepper sprout, take the kids (or the kids-at-heart) to Myrtle Waves Water Park or Wild Water & Wheels. Lazy rivers, water slides, and snow cones? Yes, please.

5. Catch a Show

Not every summer day has to be spent in the sun. Check out local favorites like The Carolina Opry or Pirates Voyage for live entertainment with a Southern twist.

6. Sunset Cruise or Dolphin Tour

Hop on a boat out of Murrells Inlet or Little River and spot dolphins, birds, and the prettiest sunsets this side of the South. Perfect for date night or family adventures.

7. Eat Your Way Through Town

From fresh seafood on the MarshWalk to food trucks at Market Common, Myrtle Beach is a foodie’s playground. Pro tip: try the hushpuppies everywhere you go—just trust us.

Whether you’re born and raised or brand new in town, Myrtle Beach in the summer is where memories are made. If you're thinking about putting down roots or finding your next beach house, the Kellie Coggins Team knows this coast like the back of our hand.
