My favorite Myrtle Beach Pier
This is my favorite pier to visit in Myrtle beach. Parking is only $3/hour or $15 for the day. That is cheaper than parking at the pier where the Skywheel is. Follow the directions on the signs to text and pay instead of using the pay machine. People were having problems with the machine. Texting and paying was easy. We park at 2nd Avenue Pier and take the 30 minute Boardwalk stroll to the pier where the Skywheel is. It is a nice walk past many shops and restaurants with an ocean view. Have lunch at the Wicked Tuna restaurant at the 2nd avenue pier, enjoy the beach for a while near the pier, then stroll down the boardwalk and enjoy the sunset view. The 2nd Ave Pier is a great place to enjoy the beach. We take our family pictures under the pier every year.

Very Senic and a Dolphin too
Fun way to spend an hour or so. The fishermen were out in full force. It was a beautiful day and you can see the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk in the background. But our highlight was seeing a dolphin swimming around the pier, putting on a little show for everybody.

Always go here.
I went here every day of my trip. $2 a day. Talked to Jeff, Mike, Bob and the rest. I met Fred the Pelican. Great views of the beach north and south. The staff is just super. A great bunch of guys. Coming from Ohio, i lost all my stress on day one. i walked 2.5 miles from my beach house every day and spent hours on the pier. $2 is a bargain for some serenity. Signed, Cowboy DEV

Came for drinks and the view
Friends
Hot day and we were looking for a slushy boozy drink and found them here, which for $18 also included the logo glass. You need a high chair to see the ocean, and they keep the place cool. Lots of parking available. You get a 50% reduction with your receipt to go on the pier (nothing special unless you are fishing) and if you go on the pier first, that receipt gets you 10% off in the restaurant (so do the math!).

Awesome Views

Larger of the two piers near the “center” of Myrtle Beach. Cost $2/adult to walk but well worth it. Lots of people fishing but you don’t feel in the way if you aren’t. Great views of the entire coastline!

Nice views for only a dollar
We walked out here a couple times in the evening. The fishermen were catching all sorts of fish (baby shark was cool), most of which got thrown back. Not sure where the sea gulls were. Nice view of downtown amusement park. End of pier needed repair and was blocked off.

Pier has everything you need, including a place to eat! There is an on site tackle shop, rod rentals, and so on. Pier is clean and large enough for everyone.

Went out on the pier. Cost 2 dollars as this is a private pier. it needs a lot of updating, some of the pillars that hold it up in the ocean are broke in half.
