Generally thought to be one of the most picturesque in the country, the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is more of a laid-back beachfront park, with charming landscaping and a wealth of regular activities depending on the season. It's also home to the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel, a 187-foot-tall ferris wheel that offers scenic views of the area and the Atlantic Ocean. You can find shops, restaurants, and live performances at Broadway at the Beach, or you could grab your swimsuit and check out the 20 acres of waterslides at Myrtle Waves Water Park.
A water lover's paradise, you'll want to make sure you take full advantage of Myrtle Beach's biggest—and top-billed—attraction. You can find plenty of sandy beachfront for hours of sun-soaked lounging, while the waves of the Atlantic Ocean beckon to kayakers, surfers, and swimmers. The Intracoastal Waterway passes through Myrtle Beach, offering ample space for bird-watching, fishing, and boating. And with an old-timey boardwalk, an amusement park, and a water park, you won't have any trouble finding activities to entertain visitors of all ages.
Like most of the southern United States, Myrtle Beach has a humid subtropical climate, which means summers are hot and muggy with regular rainstorms, while winters are short, mild, and relatively dry. Summer highs hover around 88 degrees in July and August, while average winter temperatures tend to peak in the upper 50s between December and February. As a major summer vacation destination, you'll be more likely to snag great deals on Myrtle Beach vacation rentals between the fall and spring, as soon as the school year is back in session.
Myrtle Beach is a man-made island, separated from mainland South Carolina by the Intracoastal Waterway, a 3,000-mile long series of inlets, rivers, and canals that runs from Massachusetts to Texas. The waterway provides a habitat for numerous local species, including pelicans, gulls, and several types of migratory birds. On the Atlantic Side of the island, the broad, sandy shoreline offers plenty of space for sunbathing, volleyball, and other waterfront activities, too. With a Myrtle Beach vacation rental, you'll be within easy access of one of the country's premier waterfront playgrounds.
