Top 10 Free Things to do in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (SC)

July 16, 2021 Nobuko Falco

Myrtle Beach is all at once a spring break destination, golfing destination, retirement community, and family vacation spot. Take in a foot-stomping show at the Carolina Opry, or cheer on your favorite knight at Medieval Times. Mingle with the fishermen of Springmaid Pier, then stop for ice cream along the boardwalk. Shop and dine at one of the area’s many outdoor entertainment complexes, or simply explore the many beaches of the Grand Strand – all with a personality of their own.

They had bar food available but I just sampled the beer. I am a certified beer judge & home brewer. All beers were well made and the server was quite knowledgeable. THEY DID NOT OFFER FLIGHTS. This was disappointing as I would have liked to try more beers. They did have 6 oz pours but that was more beer than I wanted.

Reviewed By svecjennifer - Baltimore, United States

Tons to do here, mostly for younger children. Plenty of swings including those for special needs children. Clean facilities and even a working water fountain. The area is fenced in which is nice and there is a huge lake that my son enjoyed chasing geese at. The ground is rubber and padded for safer play. I was really impressed and wish I had a playground like this where I live. If your in Myrtle Beach and have little ones, I highly recommend going here.

Horry County Bike Run Park

Reviewed By Bpriest427

The Horry County Bike and Run Park (aka The Hulk) is a challenging trail from beginners to advanced. It is tucked minutes away from the beaches, and has surprising elevation that makes it a ton of fun. The trail is maintained very well by the Myrtle Beach Area Mountain Bike Association. The trail is marked well and gives riders many options depending on their skill set. If you are looking for a great place to go to challenge yourself and enjoy Mother Nature this is a must do when you visit Myrtle Beach.

Reviewed By TravelersM2M

Epic Arcade is a great place to spend a couple of hours while visiting Myrtle Beach. It has only been open a few months, so the games are all new and work properly. Everything is super clean and there is plenty of open space, so I had no concerns. The staff was very friendly and the happy hour drink prices are great. I'd honestly recommend coming to have a drink on the large, oceanfront balcony even if you have no interest in the arcade games.

Broadway at the Beach

Broadway at the Beach, South Carolina's favorite Travel Destination and the largest entertainment venue of its kind in the state features unique specialty shops, exceptional dining, award-winning attractions, fabulous nightlife and relaxing accommodations, all surrounding the magnificent Lake Broadway.

Reviewed By U2055JJjamesb - Raleigh, United States

Broadway at the Beach is a very large shopping and entertainment complex with dozens of choices surrounding several small lakes where you can even feed the fish. Much of the complex is set up for families with kids so be sure to bring a stroller if needed as the whole circular route is about a 1.5 mile loop, but there are bridges and decks crossing the lakes at midpoint so if a shorter walk is desired that's no probkem.

Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum

Reviewed By Mr_Alejo - Houston, United States

This place is a great visit to learn not only about the history of this particular school but they also incorporate other relevant information about segregation. Some of their educational exhibits were eye opening for my kids for them to see the tools available to students before their time (typewriters, encyclopedias, etc)
