4 Things to Do Near Our Resort for Free
At Sandy Beach Oceanfront Resort, we believe the best vacation memories don’t have to cost anything. From oceanside strolls to unforgettable sunsets with the family, there's a wide range of free activities to enjoy. There are plenty of free activities just minutes from your oceanfront vacation rental. Whether you’re traveling with the kids, family, or someone special, here are four of our favorite things to do right near the resort below.
Myrtle Beach Boardwalk & Promenade
Just steps from our resort is the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, which is the heartbeat of the Grand Strand. This lively 1.2-mile stretch along the oceanfront offers stunning views, local shops, and plenty of people-watching opportunities. During the summer, enjoy free nightly entertainment, including street performers, fireworks, and live music. Don’t miss the SkyWheel lighting in the night sky even if you don’t ride it; it’s a sight to see!
Walk to the Second Avenue Pier (No Fishing Required!)
If you’re looking for something different to do for free, you don't have to go far. Just a short walk from the resort is the Second Avenue Pier. While there is a fee to fish off the pier, there is no charge to walk the pier. The Second Avenue Pier is located right next to the resort, making it the perfect spot for a family photo opportunity. Take pictures during sunrise or make it extra special for the sunset while enjoying a cup of coffee or an ice cream cone. Think of the fun your family will have just enjoying the ocean breeze and looking at the stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Take a Self-Guided Murals and Sculptures Tour
Myrtle Beach is full of surprises if you know where to look. With whimsical sculptures along the boardwalk and vibrant wall art, you’ll be able to find them outside. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the area around the resort, and all within walking distance. Look for the large Myrtle Beach postcard mural downtown, as it makes the perfect backdrop for your family picture.
Relax in Plyler Park
For families seeking family-friendly events throughout the year, Plyler Park is the perfect spot. It is located along the boardwalk near the resort and SkyWheel, offering live concerts and outdoor movies year-round. Even on quiet days, it’s a great space to sit, relax, and listen to the waves without being on the sand. During the summer, bring a beach chair in the evening to enjoy live music and take in the ocean breezes.
When you stay at Sandy Beach Oceanfront Resort, you’re never far from the action or relaxation. With our spacious accommodations, pools, and unbeatable beach access, our location makes it easy to enjoy the best of Myrtle Beach. Now it’s your turn to enjoy some of the best free activities in the area without ever needing to drive.
