Welcome to Myrtle Beach This Spring!

As spring rolls in, Myrtle Beach is gearing up for another exciting tourist season, welcoming families and teenagers alike. With its stunning beaches and a smorgasbord of attractions, it’s no wonder this sunny spot becomes a family favorite every year. So, whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned beachgoer, here are some essential tips to help you navigate your spring getaway in Myrtle Beach.

Getting Around: Golf Carts and Public Transport

Did you know that teenagers over 16 can drive golf carts on public roads in South Carolina, as long as they have a valid driver’s license? While that sounds fun, keep in mind that most golf cart rental companies in Myrtle Beach require renters to be at least 18 or even 21 years old. If you plan to zip around town in a cute little cart, make sure you bring your driver’s license and follow those important local traffic laws.

If golf carts aren’t your style, Coast RTA has got you covered! For just $1 per ride, you can hop on their public transportation that spans across Horry and Georgetown counties. Plus, if you’re using a smartphone wallet or contactless card, you can cap your daily fare at just $3.50. During the summer months, look out for two free Entertainment Express shuttles that run throughout Myrtle Beach, connecting you to popular destinations like the Boardwalk, Broadway at the Beach, and even the Pelicans Ballpark.

Fun for Everyone: Family-Friendly Attractions

Myrtle Beach is jam-packed with family-friendly attractions that will keep everyone entertained. If you’re looking to unwind a bit, check out the spacious outdoor fields and parks at The Market Common. Here, you can relax and enjoy the fresh air or join in on some outdoor activities.

For those craving a bit more excitement, the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is a must-visit! With its array of arcade games, captivating Ripley’s attractions, souvenir shops, and the iconic SkyWheel, it’s a wonderland for all ages. Then there’s Broadway at the Beach, which offers a treasure trove of indoor fun, including escape rooms, laser tag, and rides at Pavilion Park. And don’t forget about Barefoot Landing, where you can enjoy arcade games, an alligator adventure zoo, and seasonal rides.

Know the Rules: Curfews and Safety

As you explore the beach and surrounding areas, it’s important to be aware of some local rules. Myrtle Beach has a minor curfew from midnight to 6 a.m., which means that unaccompanied minors can’t be out in public areas during those hours. Parents should also tread carefully, as they could face penalties for allowing minors to wander alone during curfew times. Additionally, keep in mind that the Coastal Grand Mall has restrictions on Fridays and Saturdays after 4 p.m., requiring those under 18 to be with an adult aged 21 or older.

Minors can enjoy some freedom at public beaches during non-curfew hours, but swimming alone is generally discouraged for safety reasons. Always ensure that your youngsters are safe while enjoying the waves!

Group Activities and Evening Entertainment

Summer evenings in Myrtle Beach can be alive with laughter and excitement. There are tons of teen-friendly group activities to do, like mini-golf which many courses keep open late. If you’re up for some music and entertainment, the House of Blues allows kids over 13 to attend specific shows without adult supervision, although some events may have age restrictions.

For a more laid-back vibe, check out family-friendly venues like The Hangout and Crooked Hammock Brewery, both of which offer free live music throughout the season. And keep an eye out for seasonal events, street performances, and fireworks happening at venues like Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing. There’s always something fun to look forward to!

So, whether you’re riding in a golf cart, enjoying the arcade games or soaking in the sun on the beautiful Myrtle Beach shores, you are bound to create unforgettable memories this spring!
