Myrtle Beach vacations have a way of nickel-and-diming a family: parking here, day passes there, “resort amenity fees” everywhere. So here’s a list we’re proud to publish — everything that’s actually FREE with a Sand Dunes Resort stay.
1. The waterpark. The whole waterpark.
Book your stay through Sands Resorts — directly or through a travel site — and admission to the Sands Resorts Waterpark is included: 130,000 gallons of heated water, a long lazy river, waterslides, a giant splash zone with a dumping bucket, waterfall pools, an aquatic treehouse, and a kiddie-pool playground. It’s seasonal (weather permitting — ask reservations for current hours), and for guests who booked direct it costs exactly nothing, every day of the stay.
2. Free Attraction Tickets
Book direct and the Free Attraction Tickets program adds tickets to Myrtle Beach attractions on top of your stay. That’s the expensive part of a beach trip — the “can we do the fun thing?” part — already handled. See how it works with current specials.
3. Parking
Complimentary garage parking across the street, one pass per room (up to two per reservation). In a beach town where lots charge by the hour, “park once and forget the car” is real money.
4. The pools — all of them
Oceanfront outdoor pool with a lazy river. Sun deck and lawn. Recently renovated indoor pool, open year-round. Indoor whirlpool. No wristbands, no cabana-rental gatekeeping — jump in.
5. The beach itself
Obvious, but worth saying: Sand Dunes is oceanfront. No beach-shuttle fees, no public-access parking hunt. Walk out front, toes in sand.
What “free” adds up to
Price out a comparable trip where the waterpark is a day-pass, the attractions are full price, and the parking meter runs all week — then compare. The complete family vacation isn’t just more convenient in one oceanfront resort; it’s the better math.
