Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is an extraordinarily unique travel destination as our oceanside paradise is equally revered for its pristine beaches, world-renowned golf courses, and eye-popping attractions. There’s genuinely something for everyone here along the Grand Strand, including a diverse array of Myrtle Beach museums. Whether you’re a history buff, well-traveled aesthete, or self-proclaimed petrolhead, the whole family is in for one whirlwind of a good time here at Sand Dunes Resort. Don’t forget that all guests receive free entry to our splash-tastic water park as well as convenient access to our exclusive beach.

A Handy Guide to the Best Myrtle Beach Museums

A long-awaited trip to sunny Myrtle Beach isn’t complete without a stop at one of the region’s most popular museums. While there isn’t an overabundant amount of Myrtle Beach museums within 10 miles of Sand Dunes Resort, we couldn’t dream up a more diverse group of attractions than these four selections. Without further ado, let’s start our guide with a stop at Broadway at the Beach.

1. Hollywood Wax Museum

Myrtle Beach Museums

After a $250 million installation, Broadway at the Beach rapidly evolved into the state’s premier entertainment hub. There’s something for every type of traveler here in the heart of Myrtle Beach: shops, eateries, boat rides, and, heck, even minor league baseball. But the Hollywood Wax Museum is a head-turning attraction that the whole family can relish. Pose alongside some of your favorite celebrities, athletes, and historical figures. The figures are, of course, made up entirely of wax (much like the classic 1953 film, House of Wax).

2. EdVenture Children’s Museum

Treat your kids to an educational, fun-filled afternoon at EdVenture Children’s Museum, the only children’s museum in Myrtle Beach. This 3,000-square-foot space rests inside The Market Common, a posh shopping complex on the south side of town. Visitors can meander alongside the countless hands-on exhibits to learn about humankind’s advancements in science, technology, engineering, and math. Your little ones can govern the “mission control,” attempt a flight simulator, and hop aboard an interactive spaceship.

3. Burroughs-Chapin Art Museum

Myrtle Beach Museums

The Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum has many names, including the “Myrtle Beach Art Museum.” For those with a keen eye for fine art, a stop at the Burroughs-Chapin Art Museum is an absolute must. This 11-gallery art hall is, as you might expect, a visual treat. Works from Norman Rockwell, Frank Lloyd Wright, Jonathan Green, Dixie Dugan, and countless other master artists have hung inside this beautiful respite. While many label the art museum as a splendid “rainy day activity,” we think it’s well worth a visit even amid summer’s golden haze. Unlike most Myrtle Beach museums, Burroughs-Chapin is entirely free of charge!

4. Wheels of Yesteryear

Wheels of Yesteryear narrowly “defeated” the Myrtle Beach Pinball Museum to garner the last spot on this list. One of the most enticing events of the year here in our beachside paradise is Mustang Week, which serves as an eye-catching trip down memory lane for thousands of spectators. Wheels of Yesterday has a jam-packed warehouse filled with glossy, breathtaking cars that have withstood the test of time, and it’s open to the public seven days a week! These hot rides have never looked more inviting to car geeks and gear heads. Stop in and say “hello” to their 1969 Mercury Cyclone, 1955 Dodge Stepside Pickup, and 1963 Corvette Stingray. As the only car museum in Myrtle Beach, Wheels of Yesteryear sees a ton of foot traffic during the cooler months.

Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resorts

After visiting a couple of these marvelous Myrtle Beach museums, retreat to Sand Dunes Resort for a beach stroll, poolside cocktail, and a cheeselicious pizza at Oceanside 74 Restaurant. And don’t forget to browse through our modern, ocean-view villas before giving us a call at 866-845-1011. We cannot wait to see all of your smiling faces this winter here on the peaceful Grand Strand!

Myrtle Beach Golf CoursesThere’s never an offseason for golf here in sunny Myrtle Beach, widely known as the “Golf Capital of the World.” While much of the country is saying “goodbye” to autumn, we’re still enjoying late-summer temperatures here along South Carolina’s coast. And one of the most popular mid-fall activities in our seaside haven is, of course, 18 holes of championship golf. Sand Dunes Resort not only has a free water park, oceanfront dining, and exclusive beach access, but guests can take full advantage of our affordable Myrtle Beach golf packages. All customized golf packages include (at a minimum) three nights of oceanfront lodging and three rounds at the top-reviewed Myrtle Beach golf courses.

The Top Myrtle Beach Golf Courses

If you’ve ever taken a peek at a Myrtle Beach golf course map, you already know that there are nearly 100 golf clubs along the Grand Strand. To ensure that all upcoming Myrtle Beach golf trips are nothing short of flawless, we’ve pieced together ten of our favorite local courses. All of these mainstays can be included in a Sand Dunes Resort golf package. For your reading enjoyment, we’ve broken down these can’t-miss Myrtle Beach golf courses into ten unique categories.

The Best Myrtle Beach Golf Packages

Now that we’ve got your mind on 18 holes of quintessential Myrtle Beach golf, it’s time to start planning that next coastal escape to South Carolina’s awe-inspiring coast. Sand Dunes Resort has five group-friendly, stay-and-play packages, which in turn makes us one of the premier Myrtle Beach golf resorts. Click the links below to learn more about each spectacular offer!

Scuba Diving in Myrtle BeachWhile thrill-seekers typically visit Myrtle Beach to surf, parasail, and jet ski, there’s a vast, mysterious underwater world worth exploring during your next coastal escape. Scuba diving in Myrtle Beach is subtly growing among couples, groups, and, yes, even families. There are several scuba diving schools and rental shops within minutes of Sand Dunes Resort for those who need instruction, certification, or gear.

Scuba Diving in Myrtle Beach: What to Expect

What you might not know about the Myrtle Beach area is that there are several underwater treasures near our pristine beaches, including Civil War wrecks, sunken World War II tugboats, and rapidly-growing artificial reefs. Half-day trips start at just $79 per person for most Myrtle Beach diving charters. You won’t find prices this low anywhere else along the East Coast!

Top Myrtle Beach Scuba Charters

Scuba diving in Myrtle Beach has never been this accessible as popular demand has helped more than triple availability as well as drop costs. You won’t have to search for “deep-sea diving near me” during your well-deserved coastal escape because we’ve compiled the area’s best scuba outfitters.

Coastal Scuba – North Myrtle Beach

If you’re planning on scuba diving in Myrtle Beach, we highly recommend speaking with a representative from Coastal Scuba. This five-star organization offers practical classes, incredible deep-sea charters, and inexpensive scuba rentals. Charters range from $79 to $200 depending on the length and depth of the voyage. Some of the most popular expeditions include a 200-foot Civil War blockade-runner, a barracuda-overrun artificial reef, and a 130-foot deep-sea dive. Browse through their extensive charter list before giving them a ring at 843-361-3323.

Scuba Express – Murrells Inlet

Express Watersports is known for their sunset cruises, parasailing expeditions, and jet ski rentals, but they also offer some of the best scuba diving in Myrtle Beach. Yes, they have on-site dive instruction and scuba gear rentals, but travelers typically seek out their “Live Bottom Ledges” artificial reef where visibility ranges from 60 to 100 feet. Their scuba season runs from early March through mid-to-late October, and prices range from $80 to $200. Scuba Express visits 21 dive sites, including ten locales geared explicitly toward novices.

It’s worth noting that Nu Horizons Dive and Travel has the area’s premier scuba instruction. While Nu Horizons doesn’t provide scuba diving in Myrtle Beach, they do help locals book trips to faraway destinations.

free things to do in Myrtle BeachWhile a vacation (regardless of the locale) is the perfect time to splurge on fine dining, world-class golf, hair-raising live performances, and a plethora of souvenirs, it’s never a bad idea to compile a handy list of free activities. Luckily for you and your family, Myrtle Beach has the perfect combination of free fun and a wide variety of inexpensive attractions that cost money but don’t break the bank. To ensure that your family has the time of their lives without worrying about your checkbook, we’ve compiled four of our favorite free things to do in Myrtle Beach. All of these top-ranked Myrtle Beach attractions are within minutes (or seconds) of Sand Dunes Resort.

The 4 Best Free Things to Do in Myrtle Beach

Several other websites consider Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot Landing, and The Market Common some of the best free things to do in Myrtle Beach. While these three attractions are well worth a visit and technically “free,” you’ll quickly end up spending money on food, entertainment, or souvenirs. Reminder: all four of these kid-friendly Myrtle Beach activities are entirely free to our guests!

1. The Beach

Ranking the top six free things to do in Myrtle Beach with kids was challenging, but number one was a no-brainer. While many rank Broadway at the Beach as the area’s top attraction, thousands of travelers and locals flock to our pristine shores every day. Sand Dunes Resort rests along the awe-inspiring shores of the Atlantic, so you’ll always be seconds away from a day at the beach when you choose our oceanfront getaway. Build a sandcastle, read a crime novel, fly a kite, and practice yoga – there are only right ways to spend your time on Myrtle Beach.

free things to do in Myrtle Beach2. Sands Resorts Waterpark

All of our guests get to enjoy FREE admission to Sands Resorts Waterpark, our on-site, 130,000-gallon wonderland. Float along the lazy river in a cushy tube, brace yourself under the giant water bucket, watch your kids frolic on the aquatic treehouse, and blaze down a waterslide before taking a nap on the beach (which is a brief stroll from the water park).

3. Franklin G. Burroughs & Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum

While the Burroughs & Chapin Art Museum is certainly a mouthful, this Ocean Boulevard attraction remains one of our favorite free things to do in Myrtle Beach (regardless of the price). Browse through an extensive collection of art exhibits ranging from local artists to world-famous figures such as Jean de Brunhoff. Inside the museum, you’ll discover pottery, glassworks, prints, illustrations, photographs, and, of course, paintings.

4. The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade

While a stroll along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade may lead to a purchase or two, this beautiful stretch of South Carolina’s coast is well worth a visit. Yes, you’ll pass the SkyWheel, Ripley’s, and countless oceanfront restaurants, but the sprawling, awe-inspiring Atlantic Ocean views are stellar. And a walk along the Promenade is perhaps the best way to get to know the city – and maybe you stumble into a kitschy ice cream shop with the kids to cool your tongues.

Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Family Resorts

Not only do all guests at Sand Dunes Resort gain free admission to our crowd-pleasing on-site water park, but you’ll be seconds away from seemingly endless Myrtle Beach activities, such as sunbathing, swimming, and beachcombing. And don’t forget about our inexpensive yet utterly charming ocean-view suites, on-site dining, and spectacular golf specials. Hopefully, this list of free things to do in Myrtle Beach will help save your family a little money this summer.

day trips in south carolinaSummer is starting to heat up, and thousands of families are escaping their hectic lives for well-deserved getaways to sunny Myrtle Beach. Myrtle Beach remains one of the premier family getaways in North America, primarily because of our jaw-dropping ocean views, seemingly never-ending attractions, and oceanfront water park resorts. But every now and then, families and couples alike are in the mood for a day trip to a nearby community, such as beautiful Murrells Inlet or historic Charleston. Sand Dunes Resort, one of the top-rated Myrtle Beach oceanfront hotels for families, offers guests with complimentary passes to our on-site water park, exclusive beach access, and ocean-view guest suites. And we’re just a short journey from three of the best day trips in South Carolina: Charleston, Murrells Inlet, and McClellanville.

The Top 3 Day Trips in South Carolina

To ensure that your well-deserved summertime escape to Myrtle Beach is nothing short of flawless, we’ve compiled three of our favorite day trips in South Carolina. These three South Carolina day trips are within 100 miles from Sand Dunes Resort, so you won’t have to spend too much time on the road in a rental car.

Charleston, SC

The journey from Myrtle Beach to Charleston is approximately 100 miles in length (the longest day trip on this list), but this historic, visually-striking community is well worth the two-hour drive. There are dozens of highlights located all across the city, ranging from maritime museums to tea plantations. Here are ten of our favorite stops in Charleston:

Murrells Inlet

Murrells Inlet is only 19 miles south of Sand Dunes Resort, helping it remain one of our favorite day trips in South Carolina. Whereas Charleston is historic and sophisticated, Murrells Inlet is a natural sanctuary enclosed by awe-inspiring wilderness. From world-renowned golf courses to the spectacular Brookgreen Gardens, Murrells Inlet is the perfect day trip for a family of outdoor enthusiasts. Here are five reasons why Murrells Inlet is one of our top three day trips in South Carolina:

McClellanville, SC

In-between Charleston and Murrells Inlet rests the quaint seaside community of McClellanville, yet another one of our favorite day trips in South Carolina. This small fishing town is located along the eastern edge of the pristine Francis Marion National Forest. There’s an abundance of seafood shanties, historic churches, and outdoor exploration in this peaceful town, making it the perfect quiet day trip during the summer months.

Myrtle Beach Hotels with Water Parks

We guarantee that these three days trips in South Carolina will live up the hype. Start and finish each day at Sand Dunes Resort, one of Myrtle Beach’s best family getaways! Not only are we within minutes of the area’s top attractions, such as Broadway at the Beach, SkyWheel, and Ripley’s Aquarium, but we have a free on-site water park, ocean-view guest rooms, a blacklight mini golf course, an arcade, and so many more incredible amenities!

myrtle beach attractionsThere’s no denying that Myrtle Beach has expanded into one of the premier family getaways on the East Coast thanks to our city’s wide variety of family-friendly activities, attractions, and inexpensive oceanfront accommodations. Myrtle Beach, much like every other famous beachfront city, experiences a standard amount of rainfall throughout the year, intermittently “raining on everyone’s parade.” But don’t let a little rain ruin your well-deserved family vacation to the South Carolina coast! When you’re not sunbathing on the beach, splashing at the Sands Resorts Waterpark, and indulging in delicious local cuisine, we recommend taking a short journey to some of the best Myrtle Beach attractions. All of these top-rated Myrtle Beach attractions make perfect rainy day activities!

4 Top-Rated Indoor Myrtle Beach Attractions

  1. Family FunZone – There’s no better way to ride out a brief rainstorm than venturing over to the Family FunZone located next door at the newly-renovated North Shore Oceanfront Hotel. The Family FunZone has an extensive collection of classic arcade games, new video games, a swimming pool with a heated whirlpool, and, of course, Neptune Blacklight Mini Indoor Golf. Splash in the pool, play nine holes of black-light mini golf, and enjoy dozens of exciting arcade games while the rainstorm passes.
  2. myrtle beach attractionsRipley’s Aquarium – We highly recommend embarking on the five-mile journey from Sand Dunes Resort to Ripley’s Aquarium this summer, whether it’s raining or not. This kid-friendly aquarium is fun for all ages, but young children in particular always seem to leave electrified and smiling from ear-to-ear. The kids can meet some of the world’s most colorful fish, such as clown triggerfish, blue tang, and foxface rabbitfish. Some of the “scariest” creatures under the sea also reside at this magical aquarium, but don’t fret, because you can actually swim with some of these surprisingly friendly sharks and stingrays!
  3. Hollywood Wax Museum – One of the most popular Myrtle Beach attractions, especially for teenagers, is the Hollywood Wax Museum, which rests just across the highway from Broadway at the Beach. The whole family can pose for photos with jaw-dropping wax versions of your favorite movie stars, musicians, and athletes, including Justin Timberlake, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Beyoncé.
  4. Medieval Times – One of the most exciting, amusing, and family-friendly Myrtle Beach attractions is Medieval Times, a rousing dinner theater originally founded in 1995. Not only will the whole family get to enjoy a four-course meal that’s “fit for royalty,” but you’ll observe some of the best jousting, weaponry, falconry, and horsemanship in the United States.

Myrtle Beach Hotels with Water Parks

Not only is Sand Dunes Resort one of the only water park resorts in Myrtle Beach, but we’re steps from the Atlantic Ocean and several miles of pristine beach access.

myrtle beach resortsSpring has officially arrived, signifying that it’s time to start making Memorial Day weekend plans. If you’re hoping to take an extended break from your hectic daily routines with a well-deserved oceanfront getaway, there’s no place quite like family-friendly Myrtle Beach, SC. Whether you’re hoping to splash in a Myrtle Beach water park, swing the clubs at a world-renowned golf course, or relax on the beach without a care in the world, you’ll quickly find that Myrtle Beach is the Memorial Day weekend getaway that you’ve been dreaming of for the last decade. Sand Dunes Resort is not only one of the premier Myrtle Beach resorts on the beach, but we provide our guests with complimentary access to Sands Resorts Waterpark, on-site dining, and jaw-dropping Atlantic Ocean views from our private suites. There are four things that every Memorial Day weekend getaway needs: tasty food, leisurely activities (such as shopping), endless relaxation possibilities, and water excitement. And luckily for you and your family, Sand Dunes Resort offers all of that and so much more!

Tasty, On-Site Dining

Trade in your apron, tongs, and grill for convenient, delicious meals at our two on-site restaurants: Oceanside 74 Restaurant, Lounge, & Pizzeria and Eli’s Oceanfront Cafe. Oceanside 74 slings some of the best specialty pizzas in Myrtle Beach, mouthwatering stuffed flounder, and a glorious fried egg burger with crispy bacon and provolone on a freshly-baked brioche bun. Dine inside the restaurant or sit near the ocean’s edge in the open lounge. Eli’s, located next door at the North Shore Oceanfront Hotel, serves some of the premier breakfast entrees along Myrtle Beach. Indulge in a signature three-egg omelet, eggs Florentine, or sweet potato pecan pancakes!

Beach Relaxation

Our particularly beautiful stretch of Myrtle Beach, perfectly located between the lively boardwalk district and tranquil North Myrtle Beach, is pristine, quiet, and utterly breathtaking. You’re always seconds away from a relaxing afternoon spent sunbathing, sandcastle building, people watching, and shelling when you stay at Sand Dunes Resort. You can also relax poolside at Sands Resorts Waterpark while the kids giggle the hours away in the splash zone. If you don’t mind getting a little wet, we recommend hopping aboard an inner tube and floating along the lazy river! The best way to cap off each unforgettable day spent under the South Carolina sun is with a glass of wine on your private ocean-view deck around dusk. And don’t forget to rise with the sun at dawn – the sunrises in Myrtle Beach are genuinely heavenly!

Splash, Swim, and Paddle

myrtle beach resortsWhile you’ll likely want to spend most of your Memorial Day weekend relaxing on the beach, enjoying delicious local cuisine, and playing games with the kids, you won’t want to return home without several hours spent in the water. The complimentary Sands Resorts Waterpark provides guests of all ages with exciting slides, soothing lazy rivers, and an exhilarating splash zone.

Sands Resort Waterpark and Lazy River

Yes, you read that right – Sands Resort Waterpark is entirely free for all of our guests. One of the main features of this Myrtle Beach water park, especially for adults, is the lazy river. Hop aboard a bright yellow tube and let the current slowly guide you along this meandering canal. The kids will love the giant water bucket which dumps hundreds of gallons on those who’re aching to get soaked! The “Splash Zone” also features slippery waterslides, gushing fountains, a water-resistant aquatic treehouse, a bubble pool, and a kiddie-pool playground.

Guests who wish to take a short break from our free Myrtle Beach water park can take full advantage of our oceanfront pool and sundeck located on the southwest corner of the resort. Relax in a comfortable chaise lounge, soak in the water, and take laps around the uniquely-shaped pool. And the boardwalk to the beach is conveniently located approximately ten steps from the pool! If the weather isn’t cooperating, we also have a renovated ocean-view pool and two hot tubs inside the resort.
