If your vacation wish list consists of sand and surf, then Carolina Shores RV Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, might just fit the bill. Occupying 80 acres along the coast, the getaway is packed with a slew of accommodations and fun activities, along with direct access to the beach from the resort. Also nearby, the town of Myrtle Beach boasts a host of family-friendly diversions, from adrenaline-pumping amusement park rides to thrilling entertainment.

Family Fun

For families looking for wholesome good times, the resort has a long menu of activities. Kids can climb in the playground, practice swings in the mini golf course, or shoot at aliens in the arcade. Prefer watery fun? A heated pool and a long and winding lazy river — complete with floaties — for a leisurely voyage.

Of course, the area’s signature attraction is the beach, and guests need only take a short walk to find themselves on a sandy shoreline facing the Atlantic Ocean. Unroll a towel for sunbathing or jump into the waves.

Other recreation options include a basketball court, horseshoes, a rec hall, and a splash pool.

Life is a Beach

Beyond the resort, Myrtle Beach serves up classic family-friendly activities. Tourists can choose from hotdogs on the boardwalk at Peaches Corner, a night of putting at one of the town’s more than fifty miniature golf courses or seeing a show at the opulent Carolina Opry. It’s simple to understand why the “Grand Strand” is one of the most well-liked and exciting vacation spots in the nation when you consider the 60 miles of breathtaking beaches, nature treks, and some of the greatest fishing on the East Coast.

Views of the Ocean

No visit is complete without taking a spin on the SkyWheel, a 187-foot observation wheel that offers visitors sweeping vistas of the Atlantic Ocean and the coastline. As the wheel spins, the climate-controlled gondolas rise as high as 20 stories above the ground.

Stay closer to earth as you stroll the 1.2-mile boardwalk, flanked by quirky beach shops, eateries, and entertainment. There are many opportunities to stroll out into the waves for some excellent surf casting with the locals while iconic fishing piers jut out from 14th Avenue and 2nd Avenue. With so many activities and a lively atmosphere, there’s never a shortage of things to do here.

Reaching the Connections

Another name for Myrtle Beach is the world’s golf capital. With hundreds of beginner- to expert-level courses available, you’re likely to find one that fits both your skill level and your budget. Start at Caledonia, True Blue, Barefoot Resort, and Dunes Golf and Beach Club.
