The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade is the epitome of the Grand Strand! A wonderful walk with views of the ocean, sculptures, restaurants, attractions and stores to head into. A great place to hear the ocean and be part of the action! The Sky wheel is a sight in itself! A wonderful ride to view the beach 🏝️ Colorful sculptures make for some fun photos! Gay Dolphin, our all-time fave souvenir shop has numerous levels of anything you could possibly want! Great for kids! Definitely a must visit! Wheelchair accessible entrance and parking.

We visited the boardwalk on 4/7 right after Spring Break week. It was a beautiful day and not very many people on the boardwalk or the beach. We paid one dollar to go out in the main pier and walked the entire length of the boardwalk which was about 1.5 miles one way. We saw dolphins swimming close along the beach and enjoyed the sounds of the crashing waves. There were lots of little stores and restaurants along the boardwalk if shopping is your thing. There is a large Ferris wheel that costs $19.99 pp to ride and some other rides you can pay for. I am sure during the summer the place is packed but the day we were there it was perfect!

Myrtle Beach offers a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement for families seeking a beach vacation. With its serene beaches, abundant seafood options, and numerous entertainment choices, it's an ideal destination. Families can unwind on the sandy shores or indulge in thrilling amusement park rides. The array of shows and shopping opportunities cater to all interests, ensuring everyone has a memorable and fulfilling experience. Overall, Myrtle Beach provides a harmonious balance of tranquility and entertainment, making it a top choice for a family beach getaway.

This was better than I expected, but I will warn you that it is hot, hot, hot. We were there in May and it was about 80 degrees outside and we were roasting. I can't even imagine what this is like in the summer. Hey Myrtle Beach, plant some trees! A little shade would have made all the difference. There are several great photo op spots and, of course, the Gay Dolphin souvenir shop -- must see! We ate at the pier restaurant (can't remember the name of it) and have a fabulous view of the beach and the ocean as well as the pier. It's worth waiting for a window-side table (not that we had to wait in May, which is practically off season). The whole thing, other than eating and buying stuff, is free and familyy friend. Recommend.

Crowded. Felt like we were at the county fair with workers standing out in front of their stores trying to coerce people to buy something—“Come get a T-shirt for your kids to show them you love them” was being barked out to one family group. Other than watching the beach waves there isn’t much to enjoy at this location.

The boardwalk can be fun but it also can be miserable. Your experience is going to be highly dependent on the weather and the other people visiting that day. If it's too hot, you will be miserable. If the boardwalk is full of obnoxious people, you will be miserable. If the weather is good and everyone around is acting like decent human beings, you will have a good time.

We enjoyed walking most of the length of the boardwalk. Not really into shopping but it was fun to see all the shops and little bars, ice cream shops, and restaurants along the way. There are a couple cute photo stops that kids seem to enjoy as well as live performers here and there. It seemed very safe and busy at all hours of the day. We walked all the way to the wheel and to pier 14; at pier 14 you can pay $1 and walk all the way out to the end where we watched some guys fishing. ONe caught a little bonnet head shark which he photographed and then thankfully released ! It would be pretty hot in the bright daylight so I recommend walking it in the evening near sunset. There were a lot of restaurants but I didn't see any that really struck my fancy; I thought there was one on Pier 14 but it kind of looked more like a bar? We were going to ride the wheel but honestly our hotel room was on floor 17 so we figured we got just as good a view there.... it would have been fun if youve never been on a big sky wheel before. It was pretty expensive for a ticket so we skipped it to use for a dinner instead.! We ducked into the Gay Dolphin gift shop; it is huge but not really anything special as far as what they offer. Typical kitschy stuff --- and i couldn't find a single post card for sale!!! I guess post cards are a thing of the past!

I wish they would redesign this area. It feels dirty with aggressive vendors. It’s not worth the trip. Parking is over $20 for 2 hours with bait and switch lots and the public garage the least affordable. They can do better!

My 3 teens loved the Boardwalk. Live entertainment in the park, fireworks at 10, fun shopping and people watching. Outside dining with ocean views was spectacular! Sky Wheel is always great and the view is unmatched! Kids liked the Sling Shot a lot. The Bowery is a must as well.

We went in the morning about 9am, not thinking anything of it. We thought we would walk on the beach until shops opened. There was only one public bathroom, many homeless people washing in the sink and being sketchy. A few homeless people passed out on the steps to the beach. Ended up leaving before the shops opened. Will not be back. They did have some activities like Ripley’s and arcades.
