Meet Big Red: Myrtle Beach's Only Double Decker Bus

  By  Visit Myrtle Beach

When it comes to exploring Myrtle Beach, why stay grounded? Introducing the Big Red Bus—the Grand Strand’s one-and-only double-decker bus and a true showstopper on wheels. It’s bold, it’s bright, and it’s bringing a brand-new point of view to the coastline.

A British Import with Local Soul

Double-decker buses might not be new to the world, but Big Red is South Carolina’s very first registered double-decker, and it's unlike anything else cruising along the Grand Strand. Shipped all the way from England to the Jacksonville Port, the bus originally featured a traditional closed top. But the team behind Big Red had bigger visions. They removed the roof, opened up the upper deck, and transformed it into a breezy, open-air ride, perfect for soaking in Myrtle Beach’s ocean breeze and unforgettable sunsets.

The result? A red-hot vehicle bursting with personality and passion. The team poured their hearts and souls into giving Big Red her signature flair—turning a classic mode of transport into an iconic Myrtle Beach experience.
