Let’s dive into the family adventures that await you in Myrtle Beach this July, offering many fun and relaxation opportunities.

Enjoy the Beaches

Myrtle Beach is famous for its world-class golf courses and beautiful coastline; spending a day at the beach is a must. Build sandcastles, swim in the Atlantic waters, or relax with a good book under an umbrella. The beach is ideal for families, offering ample space to relax and enjoy the sun and surf, all steps away from the resort. Don’t forget to take an evening stroll along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, which offers stunning views and plenty of entertainment options.

Visit the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel

For a unique perspective of the coastline, the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel is the perfect attraction to try. This iconic Ferris Wheel stands nearly 200 feet tall and provides breathtaking ocean views of our city. One of the best times to go would be around the golden hour of the day to see the sun setting in the west and those beautiful colors in the sky. It will be at night if you’re hunting for a more thrilling experience for kids and adults. This is when the SkyWheel lights up with fun, vibrant colors.

Family Day at Broadway at the Beach

Broadway at the Beach is a top-notch complex featuring shopping, dining, entertainment, and attractions that offers something for everyone. Spend the day exploring the shops and trying delicious food at one of the restaurants. Then, participate in one of the many attractions like mini-golf, amusement rides, or live entertainment. It’s a great place to make many new memories and experience Myrtle Beach’s vibrant energy.

Explore Ripley’s Aquarium

Fishing in Myrtle Beach This Fall

Enjoy some endless family-friendly fun when you come visit Myrtle Beach. From swimming to golf, you will find countless ways to enjoy your fall vacation. One of the most popular activities around here happens to be fishing. And of course, while staying in one of our oceanfront condo vacation rentals, you will be close to several different fishing piers. We know that some of the most relaxing fishing can be done on one of the local piers. Below are our picks for the Myrtle Beach fishing piers.

Cherry Grove Pier

Cherry Grove Pier is a wonderful pier to start fishing at if you have never done so before. Many visitors come to the quaint town of Cherry Grove, SC and was built in the 1950’s. This pier has been family owned since 1965 and many have considered this as an iconic landmark. If you are coming to try out fishing but don’t have any fishing gear, have no fear. Cherry Grove Pier will allow you to rent fishing rods and you can get your fishing license here too. It costs $24 all day to rent a rod with a $30 deposit on it. It will cost you $16 for after 3 pm. And if you don’t feel the need to fish, you can walk the pier for $3. If you bring your own rod then it will be $3 for admission and $7.50 for each rod. They also carry fishing bait and a full line tackle shop as well.

Pier 14

Fishing in Myrtle Beach This Fall

Pier 14 has been around since the 1920’s and many still call it 14th Avenue Pier. It is known to many locals as the historic pier and has the famous Pier 14 restaurant there. The restaurant has been known to many visitors as one of the best restaurants in Myrtle Beach. You can come and rent fishing poles again where it costs $8 plus a $20 refundable deposit. If you are looking to fish with your own gear, then it costs $7 for the fishing pass and $2 for an additional pole. Please note that they do have a pole limit per person so you can only use 2 poles per person. 14th Avenue Pier also has bait in their shop so you are able to grab squid, shrimp, mullet and finger mullet for your fishing trip. They are open from 7 am to 11 pm so don’t miss out on the fun!

Fishing in Myrtle Beach This Fall

While there are other fishing piers that you can visit in the Myrtle Beach area, we just thought these two were a good option for you. And if fishing off a pier isn’t for you then how about try out a Deep-Sea fishing experience. If you are still searching for an oceanfront condo vacation rental, we have several for you to choose from this fall. We hope to see you this fall while the weather is turning a bit cooler but you can still enjoy the sunshine and beach!
