Perhaps the number one reason people come to Myrtle Beach, is well, to visit the beach. This is where we spend most of our time, sitting on the warm Atlantic sand soaking in the sun, standing in the water letting the waves crash against your body, and walking along the shore at sunrise and sunset.You'll probably find, as we did, that it's much warmer on the beach than it is on other areas.

You'll probably find, as we did, that it's much warmer on the beach than it is on other areas. If you're staying at an oceanfront resort, which I highly recommend, you may find it helpful to balance your time between the beach and the resort's pool. For example, we liked to go to the beach in the morning when it wasn't too hot, eat lunch, and then go to the pool for an afternoon swim. Whatever you decide to do, it will certainly be enjoyable!
Quick Tips:
-I highly recommend getting a room overlooking the ocean. You'll be glad you did each and every time you step onto your balcony and look outside.-On the beach, lifeguards rent out an umbrella and a set of two chairs for about - a day. You get the umbrella and chairs from 8am-4pm. We found it to be much cheaper to go to a local store such as Bargain Beachwear and buy an umbrella for a little under . We also got 2 bamboo-style beach mats for . These work better than towels, as they are easily shaken off, and the sand doesn't stick to them. Note: If you decided to set up your own umbrella, they must be set up in the same area as the rentable umbrellas. This is due to city law. Just ask a lifeguard for help. They'll even let you use a tool for making the hole.
-Don't forget to wear plenty of sunscreen, and reapply every few hours. There's nothing worse than getting burnt the first day and being unable to enjoy your vacation.
