Things to Do
Explore the Myrtle Beach Mini Golf Trail
Did you know that Myrtle Beach is the Mini Golf Capital of the World? Well, it's now official with the summer kick off of our brand-new Myrtle Beach Mini Golf Trail, which offers visitors a fun way to explore more than 30 courses on the Grand Strand. This FREE digital pass is a great way to find the best courses in the area and earn fun prizes as you play — including a trip back to The Beach. Not sure where to start? Maybe check out the brand-new PopStroke, a Tiger Woods-backed mini golf experience that opened at Broadway at the Beach.
Cool off with a Watersports Adventure
The season is here, the water is warm and it's officially time to begin enjoying ALL that The Beach has to offer. June is the perfect time to cool off with a great watersports experience here in Myrtle Beach. Myrtle Waves water park is now open for the season and has a brand-new slide for visitors this season. Shark Wake Park is open daily offering both wakeboarding and the family fun Aqua Park — a huge inflatable playground atop the water. Additional options include thrilling fun like parasailing, banana boats, jet skis, as well as more calm pursuits like dolphin tours, kayaking, and paddle boarding. There's really no end to the fun you can have on the water here.
Try a New Restaurant
It's no secret that there are a multitude of great places to eat in Myrtle Beach — in fact, we've got more than 2,000 restaurants across the Grand Strand. But with that many, how do you choose? Of course, you can opt for an iconic staple, but why not get adventurous this June and try something new? There are a ton of new restaurants that have opened this offseason that we think you'll enjoy. There are several new spots in downtown Myrtle Beach, including Boteco VIP Latin Bar & Cuisine, Flavor Hills Restaurant & Bar, and Uptown Bistro & Bakery, to name a handful. On the south end, you can find Sloppy Jose’s Cantina & Seafood Grill in Murrells Inlet and Drunken Jack's or opt for spots like Cape Fear Seafood Company, Bin 2004, or last year’s newest thing - Big Chill Island House (shown above) on the north side of town. These spots only touch the surface of the kitchens to explore along the Grand Strand. There's even MORE new places to discover at the link below.
Catch a Myrtle Beach Pelicans Game
Let’s cheer on our home team as the Myrtle Beach Pelicans play throughout the month. June is a beautiful time of year to go out to the ballgame! They’ll be playing the Augusta Green Jackets on June 1st, the Hickory Crawdads from June 10-15, and finally the Fayetteville Woodpeckers from June 17-22. Each night has its own special theme, too, including Wet Nose Wednesdays, Thirsty Thursday, and Friday night fireworks! Be sure to stick around after the game for kids to run the bases!
Celebrate the Summer Through Fireworks
Spend your day at Myrtle Beach’s one-stop shop for restaurants, stores, boutiques, amusement rides, golf, water thrills, and so much more. Broadway at the Beach has been a staple in the area for a long time, and to make the experience sweeter, they offer a fireworks display every Tuesday night from June 3rd to August 26th overlooking Lake Broadway. The display will take place each week at 10 pm, weather permitting.
Show Your Dad a Good Time
Father's Day is just around the corner, so it's the perfect time to treat dad to an awesome day at The Beach. There's tons of great options for dads including a round of golf at one of more than 80 golf courses, a trip around the Myrtle Beach Beer Trail for some craft brews or an exciting dinner show filled with pirates or medieval combat. Or perhaps, you can just leave him to relax on the beach for the day — whatever dad desires.
