Enjoy Your Myrtle Beach Vacation this Summer

Are you and your family heading to Myrtle Beach this summer for your vacation? If you are, then we want to share with you how you can enjoy your vacation in the area. Staying with us at Myrtle Beach Resort will allow you and the family to be close to the fun. Let’s look below at how you will be able to enjoy Myrtle Beach this summer.

Boardwalk Fun

For many families, heading to the boardwalk in Myrtle Beach is a tradition that they can’t miss. The Myrtle Beach boardwalk has many different things that will make families want to return every year from shopping to rides. Allow the kids to enjoy the Fun Plaza Arcade as you are strolling along the boardwalk. Eat at a few new places that you may have never given a try or let the kids do a few thrill rides. There is something for everyone on the boardwalk at the beach!

Aye-Aye Captain

Another fun activity that many families enjoy is heading over to Pirates Voyage and enjoying the show together. This is a dinner show that is one of the grand strands favorite to visit. Located next to The Carolina Opry and is one that you don’t want to miss. They entertain along with a 4-course meal that is to die for. Chant and cheer along as they show you how pirates are, and it’s a great show with many stunts. Pirates Voyage will be opening beginning on July 15^th, 2020. Don’t miss this show on your next vacation to Myrtle Beach with the family!

Is that a Shark?

If you’re looking for an adventure to do on a rainy day, then head on over to Broadway at the Beach. Here you will find Ripley’s Aquarium where you and the family can spend the day. This is one of the best aquariums on the coast of South Carolina and is one that many families love to visit. From seeing sharks, to under the reef to seeing countless fishes in all species, it’s something for everyone. We promise that you will want to visit more than once on your next trip to Myrtle Beach Resort.

Fun Amusement Parks

Myrtle Beach is a great place to get the best of both worlds, with the beach and amusement parks. There are now two that are located on the Grand Strand and just a short drive from our resort. Family Kingdom is a short 10 minute drive and has been open since 1966. The Funplex Myrtle Beach just opened up a few weeks ago and is a short 15 minute drive. Both of these parks offers rides for all ages and is perfect for a day or evening at the park. After a fun filled day riding thrill rides and family fun rides, head back to our resort and relax a little in the A/C. Think of the fun your family will have checking both of these amusement parks out this summer!

While there are other fun things that you can enjoy on your next vacation to Myrtle Beach, we wanted to share these. If you haven’t booked your vacation to stay with us at Myrtle Beach Resort, now is the time. We hope to see you and your family this summer as you make new memories together!

What to Pack in your Beach Bag

Do you have a spring break vacation planned to Myrtle Beach this year? If the answer is yes, then we understand that spending the week sitting on the beach soaking up the rays is just what you need. Staying in one of our Two-Bedroom vacation rentals will keep you close to the beach but having the right things in your beach bag will allow you to enjoy your vacation. We have compiled a small list of what to pack in your beach bag for your next vacation to Myrtle Beach below.

Beach Bag Contents

Beach Towels

When you are on vacation making sure you have packed everything before you leave home is essential. So be sure to pack a towel for everyone in your family whether you are going to sit in the sun or swim in the ocean. Bringing an extra towel with you is always a good idea especially if you have little ones with you. Having a beach towel with a different design can help each member in your group remember which one theirs is. Sewing one corner of the towel can allow you to have a little pocket so that you can place a phone or glasses in them to keep them from the sand.

Sunscreen

With the hot, southern sun sunscreen is a must for any beach bag. Use a sunscreen that is designed for your beach activities such as waterproof, sport, high SPF, etc.). Dermatologists suggests that you use a sunscreen with at least 30 SPF while you are enjoying the sunshine. And don’t forget to Reapply throughout your day as we don’t want you to ruin your vacation the very first day your here with a sunburn. Having a bottle of aloe that you can put into the fridge will help make the sunburns cool and feel refreshing in case someone in the family does get a little too much sun one day.

Mesh Sand Toys Bag

Anytime you go on vacation with kids, you have to bring a ton of sand toys with you. We understand bringing sand back with you into your vacation rental is not necessary and can be quite a hassle. So, if you pack a mesh bag such as a laundry bag or a bag specifically for beach toys can help eliminate the mess. Just throw the sandy toys into the bag, give it a good shake or two and leave the sand behind at the beach.

Hats & Sunglasses

Packing sunglasses and hats are a must anytime you visit Myrtle Beach. The sun is much hotter than it is in the north, so we want to make sure that your eyes and face are protected. Having sunglasses will protect your eyes from the sun bright rays and will offer you some relief when trying to keep an eye on your little ones playing. Whether you have a floppy hot or a baseball cap, you will be happy that you brought these along with you. Don’t forget to pack one for everyone in the family.

Water Resistant Phone Pouch

Between the water, sun and sand, the beach is filled with many things that can damage your phone. Bringing a water-resistant pouch to the beach can be a lifesaver for many. If you come on vacation and realize you don’t have one, a sandwich bag or Ziploc bag will do the same as the phone pouch. They will keep your phone protected from the elements at the beach and you can even use it while it’s in the bag or pouch.

Baby Powder for Sand Removal

Baby powder may not seem like an item you would bring with you to the beach, but it’s a wonderful hack for anyone who is on vacation. Whether you are staying in a vacation rental or you decided to drive your car to the beach access, sand will be all over you when you leave the beach. So, bringing baby powder in your beach bag will magically get the sand off of your body without irritation and leave a nice scent too. This is perfect for everyone in the family and not just the kids.

Reading Material

One way that you can improve your tan and your mood is by bringing a book or magazine to the beach. We understand that bringing your children to the beach means less time to read a book, but maybe bring a few of their books too. This way when you are ready to read a little, have them come play in the sand near where you are or have them sit under the umbrella and read a little bit of their own book.

There are many other things that you can pack into your beach bag, but these are the must have items for your next vacation. If you are still searching for the perfect resort to stay at for spring break, then check out our Myrtle Beach vacation rentals. We can’t wait for your family to come and vacation with us!

4 Must Do Winter Activities in Myrtle Beach

5 Must Do Winter Activities in Myrtle Beach

Are you struggling with trying to find fun activities that you can do in Myrtle Beach this winter? We at Myrtle Beach Resort can tell you the 4 must do activities when you come on vacation this year. Myrtle Beach has a ton of things to do and trying to find the right one that fits what your family needs may be in this list. Let’s look at what our 4 Must Do Activities are in Myrtle Beach while you are on vacation below.

Visit Museums

The museum selections that are available in Myrtle Beach will surprise you no doubt. And many of the museums are all family friendly and great for kids of all ages. The Hollywood Wax Museum where you can “meet” wax celebrities or go through the mirror maze and then do the zombie-themed adventure towards the end of the tour is something fun for everyone. Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum is something like other that you may have seen. It includes many different things that you may have never known existed included weird and unusual facts, exhibits and stories. WonderWorks is another museum that you may have never experienced before. This is more like an amusement park in itself and is fun to experience. There are several different hands-on activities, rides and exhibits that your family can take part in such as laying on a bed of nails and more. This could take you and your family all day to go through and experience such a fun thing to do for a day together.

Miniature Golf Anyone?

Many people these days can remember vacationing at the beach and heading over to do a night or two of miniature golf with their family. So, why not start this as a tradition with your family on each vacation you take to Myrtle Beach? There are plenty of miniature golf places around Myrtle Beach whether it’s in North or South, you will find a mini-golf place. But pick a few places to try before trying to figure out if it’s the new “family” mini-golf course you want to visit every trip. And you may find that some of your family members will be very competitive too which can be fun for everyone. But just go out and enjoy the day or the evening with your loved ones.

Eat

We have to say that anytime you go on vacation, it’s always nice to eat out for a few days. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner there is something for everyone in Myrtle Beach. Of course, there are plenty of chain restaurants for you to try, but why not try a few that you may not have thought about. Carolina Roadhouse is a wonderful restaurant that you can eat at that not only has amazing food, but whenever you order a salad, it will come with a glazed croissant that is to die for. Another local favorite would have to be Tupelo Honey which has excellent food choices for everyone in the family. And let’s not forget about the amazing seafood restaurants that you will find in the area. None of these restaurants will disappoint and we even have some dining options at Myrtle Beach Resort for you to enjoy.

Broadway Grand Prix

If you and your family have been looking to do a little something more adventurous, then we suggest heading over to Broadway Grand Prix for a night. Here you will be able to take advantage of racing each other in a round or two of go kart. And we understand that if you have younger children in your family they will want to feel included too in the fun. So, have no fear as there are several things for them to take part in too such as the carousel, kiddie speedway, pro tow and their very own sky wheel. There is also bumper calls for the whole family to enjoy, an arcade, mini-golf and rock climbing wall. So many different activities for everyone to take part in while they are on vacation!

Myrtle Beach Resort is the prime place to be for your next family vacation to help begin experience new memories. If you are experience snow or even cold weather, then come to Myrtle Beach where you will be able to be a little warmer this winter.

Spend Labor Day in Myrtle Beach with the Family

Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer but that doesn’t mean that you have to end it by not taking a getaway together. Many families love to take one last vacation before the kids have to go back to school and what a better place than to be at the beach. Staying with us at Myrtle Beach Resort will keep your family close to where they can have a little bit of fun too. Let’s look below at what your family can enjoy this coming up weekend on your last summer vacation of the year.

It’s a Race

What’s a better way to start out your Labor Day weekend than to have a little friendly family race together on the go-kart track. Over at Broadway Grand Prix Family Race Park to try out the 7 different go-kart tracks. Depending on what you’re looking to do there is a track that everyone in the family will enjoy. And if go-karts are not your thing don’t worry because there are other attractions there for your family to do. From mini golf to the bumper cars you won’t hear “we’re bored” from the kids!

Explore & Soar Like the Wind

One way to make sure that your family can enjoy a fun adventure while on vacation during Labor Day would be to head over to Explore & Soar. Located at Broadway at the Beach is where you will find this amazing adventure. If you have kids who are into doing new things that require them to climb as high as they can, then this is the thing for them. Not only can you and your family do a fun outdoors ropes challenge, but they can also enjoy some over the water zip lining. What a fun adventure that everyone in the family can enjoy together and bring home new memories.

New Adventures Down the River

Go on a new adventure while you are at the beach but instead of hitting the sand and surf, head a little inland for this one. River Island Adventure is located in North Myrtle Beach about 7 miles inland from the ocean. This can be for any family looking to try something new and exciting like floating in a tube down the Waccamaw River. If that doesn’t sound like fun, then join in their own “Survivor” fun with escaping the island.

4 Kid-Friendly Beach Activities for your Next Vacation

Are you and your family coming to Myrtle Beach soon for your next vacation? IF the answer is yes, then we must tell you about 4 kid-friendly beach activities for your next vacation. Staying with us at Myrtle Beach Resort will keep you close to the surf and the sand. Let’s take a peek below at what those 4 activities for the beach are.

Boogie Board

For any family who comes to vacation at the beach, they are always looking for new things to do with the kids. This is a classic thing that your kids can do together or with you, boogie boarding. Head to the store where you can pick up a boogie board or two to help make this activity happen.

Bubble Blowing

Who knew that blowing bubbles on the beach could be more fun than at home? Making your own bubbles or getting a bubble wand from the local dollar store will help keep the kids entertained. Watching the bubbles blow in the wind from the ocean is always fun and never gets old. This is a kid- friendly activity especially for the younger ones who want something to do while they are having a good time.

Beach Ball Potato

Have you ever played hot potato at home? If you have then this is just like that game only you use a beach ball. Be sure to bring a small radio or your smartphone loaded up with fun kid music. Start the music and pass the beach ball around in a circle and when the music stops, the kid holding the ball is out. This game is great for everyone and can be played on the sand or indoors, whatever works best for your family.

Sand Angels

Just like snow angels that can be made in the snow, your kids can make sand angels instead. This can be a fun activity that all kids will love as it means they can get messy. Have each child lay in the sand and make a jumping jack movement on the sand to make their angels. But we must warn you that your child will have sandy hair and bodies. Good news is that there is always the ocean to rinse all that sand off afterwards. What a great memory to make while on your next family vacation!

While there are many other beach activities for the kids to do, we thought to share these few. If you still haven’t made your next reservation to stay with us at Myrtle Beach Resort, now is the time. We hope that new memories will be made here on the sand and you will enjoy the last moments of summer!
