You Don't Have to Go Far to Have Fun

July 24, 2024

Living in the Myrtle Beach area, it's easy to find something to do. From the legendary Family Kingdom amusement park to the abundance of activities on the Strand, family fun is all around. What if, however, you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for new experiences? You're in luck, because there are plenty of excellent day trips you can take to do just that! Below, we've listed 3 fun day trip ideas - all less than an hour from Myrtle Beach.

Myrtle Beach State Park:  Drive around 10 minutes outside the City of Myrtle Beach, and you'll find 312 acres of beautiful woodland and other natural wonders. Myrtle Beach State Park provides you with many opportunities to learn more about the area's natural habitat. There's even a mile-long beach to explore if you're craving sand and surf.

Conway, SC:  Sometimes, the best way to get away from the busy life of the city is to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a quaint small town. Just around a half-hour's drive from Myrtle Beach, you'll find Conway. While the town of Conway may be relatively small compared to Myrtle Beach, there's plenty to do and see here, including the Horry County Museum and the Coastal Carolina University Arboretum.

Brookgreen Gardens:  Also around a half-hour out from the City of Myrtle Beach, you'll find 9,000 acres of true natural beauty. Brookgreen Gardens, located in Murrells Inlet, offers the chance to immerse yourself in the beauty of plant life and stunning sculptures. There's even a zoo on the property for animal lovers and adventurers young at heart!
