The sandy shores of Myrtle Beach are an enticing option for a summer getaway spot, but you don’t have to go for broke to enjoy this seaside town. Check out these cheap ways to enjoy Myrtle Beach.
Experience the mini-golf capital of the world
Summer is the perfect time to work on your putt-putt game, and with more than 50 courses throughout town, Myrtle Beach is the perfect place to practice your swing. Try your luck on the 36 holes of Mt. Atlanticus, or head to the Tiki-themed Hawaiian Rumble in North Myrtle Beach to go up against a course that fights back with erupting volcanoes and other fun surprises.
Watch the sky light up with fireworks
Every Tuesday and Friday all summer long, the night sky above Broadway at the Beach crackles to life with colorful explosions over Lake Broadway. The festivities don’t start until 10 p.m., but head to this shopping and entertainment center early to explore the novelty shops or grab a drink at Margaritaville beforehand.
Get a bird’s eye view with a helicopter ride
Take in all the beauty of Myrtle Beach and beyond with a helicopter ride above the shoreline. The best part? You don’t even have to spend much to do it. With Helicopter Adventures’ FLY4FUN tour, you’ll soar over two miles of beach, including Broadway at the Beach, the Ripken Baseball Complex and Myrtle Waves water park for just $20.
Don’t forget to enjoy the beach
Soaking up the South Carolina sun is free on Myrtle Beach. Grab your beach chairs, towels and sunblock and head out early to claim your own little slice of sand. Myrtle Beach is where all the action is, but you can also find quieter shores to the south on Pawleys Island.
