The options are endless for land lovers - Alligator Adventure is an exciting way to spend a day. And don’t forget all the fun mini-golf courses along the Strand.

With air-conditioned, comfortable gondolas, the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel guarantees an amazing view of the Grand Strand. Standing 200 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, this is the largest wheel of any kind on this side of the Mississippi, and it’s even more breathtaking at night with its state-of-the-art lighting system that creates colorful, dynamic light shows.

Maybe a half or full day deep-sea fishing trip is your idea of the perfect day? Or, enjoy one of the Grand Strand’s fishing piers and wet your line - and get plenty of advice from local anglers! Want to stay onshore, but still find adventure? Rent bicycles for a day and explore the area’s trails.

If an adventure in nature is more your speed, pick up a paddle and kayak or canoe your way to a memorable day of fun and discovery. Full and half day tours and rentals are offered locally along the Grand Strand. Spartina cordgrass, hundreds of birds, sea turtles, and maybe even a dolphin or two await your salt marsh expedition.
