Sensory Friendly
Did you know that Surfside Beach was the first autism-friendly certified destination? Since then, Myrtle Beach has also been certified as an autism-friendly city. Many local businesses and attractions have created special sensory-friendly events and activities for families visiting the area. There are Certified Autism Supportive restaurants all over Myrtle Beach. The waiters and staff are trained in what to expect with autistic customers. They have been certified by the Champion Autism Network, which means the staff has been trained to help with situations like meltdowns at any of the participating attractions, hotels and restaurants.
Sensory-friendly movies and visits are available along the Grand Strand throughout the year at Ripley’s Aquarium, the Strand Theater in Georgetown, Fun Warehouse, Grand 14 Movie Theater at The Market Common, Myrtle Beach Bowl, Myrtle Beach Pelicans, Dave and Buster’s, WonderWorks, The Adaptive Surf Project and more.
We are dedicated to providing an excellent beach vacation for all families traveling with family members with sensory-processing disorders. Visit our Autism Friendly travel page for more information!
