Myrtle Beach Beach Travel Tips

By Travel Expert: Sarah White

  • There's a reason Ripley's® Aquarium is the state's most visited attraction. This $40 million facility has a 750,000-gallon tank, hands-on exhibits and programs, and a world of exotic species on display, including stingrays, sharks, piranhas, and more. The aquarium's mission is to foster environmental education, conservation, and research. (www.ripleysaquarium.com)
  • You're on vacation. So why not dine and dance? Try Broadway at the Beach, "Where Myrtle Comes to Life." With 20 restaurants and 10 nightclubs, boredom won't be on your agenda. (www.broadwayatthebeach.com)
  • Hop into a customized stretch Jeep and join the naturalist guides at Carolina Safari Jeep Tours for a 3.5-hour history/nature ride through the low country. You'll come away with a head full of antebellum history and a new respect for the outdoors. (www.carolinasafari.com)
  • Prince, Elvis, Tina Turner, and Tom Jones—all on the same bill? Sure—when the lineup is a troupe of impersonators paying homage to the real deal. Check out the award-winning Legends in Concert, the ultimate celebrity tribute show. (www.legendsinconcertsc.com)
