While on vacation in Myrtle Beach, stretch your vacation dollar to the max. From free events such as concerts and firework shows to a relaxing game of miniature golf, there are dozens of ways for a family of four (2 adults, 2 children under 12) to have four or five hours of fun for less than $25!

Here are ten favorites from locals to get you started:

Open air concerts: Music is the universal language of the world and what better way to enjoy blues, country, rock or the oldies than in a lawn chair taking in the fresh open air. View the Summer Sun Fun Festival Concert Line-up and select from over 30 free concerts this summer being held Lakeside in Grand Park (at the former Air Force Base) or Plyler Park in Downtown Myrtle Beach.
Miniature Golf: Known as the mini golf capital of the world, there are over fifty themed miniature golf courses along the Grand Strand with excitement at every hole. Full price adult tickets generally average around $8 and $6 for kids. Tip: Check the local coupon books and find coupons for a dollar or two off if you hit the course before 6PM.
