Family-Friendly Things to Do in Myrtle Beach
September 29, 2026
Myrtle Beach has been a family beach town for generations, and it still has more to do for kids and parents than you can fit into one trip.
On the oceanfront
The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and the SkyWheel are the heart of the downtown oceanfront, with arcades, ice cream and ocean views from above. The beach itself is wide and gently sloped, which is ideal for younger swimmers.
Rainy day picks
Aquariums, indoor mini golf, museums and live theater shows keep everyone busy when the weather does not cooperate.
Outdoors beyond the beach
State parks at both ends of the Grand Strand offer trails, fishing piers and quieter stretches of sand. Boat tours and kayak rentals in Murrells Inlet and Little River are a hit with older kids.
A condo or beach home with a full kitchen and separate bedrooms makes a family trip easier. Browse our rentals to find one that fits your crew.
