16th Annual Independence Day 5K & Fun Run
Kick off your holiday bright & early at the 16th Annual Independence Day 5K at Grove Park Lake. It’s a family-friendly event that many families love, keeping this tradition up year after year. The main 5K run starts at 7:00 am, followed by the 1-Mile Fun Run at 7:30 am. The little ones can also participate in the Stars & Stripes Kids’ Dash, which begins at 8:00 am. There will be no water stops along the run, so be sure to bring your own water bottles or electrolyte drinks. Free parking will be available at the Farrow Parking Garage and nearby streets. What a great way to burn off some calories before you indulge in delicious festive treats.
All-American Eats for the Whole Family
You can’t have a 4th of July trip without classic, American bites, and Myrtle Beach has plenty of local restaurants to satisfy your cravings. Grab legendary burgers in a fun, casual setting at River City Café. For those wanting local seafood, head to Sea Captain’s House, a historic oceanfront restaurant. And don’t forget the dessert, and we suggest Melt Ice Cream Shop in North Myrtle Beach. They serve up homemade flavors like Honey Butter Cornbread or Biscoff cookies. NO matter what kind of cuisine you’re looking for, you’ll have endless choices to pick from in Myrtle Beach this 4th of July.
Fireworks with a Coastal Twist
As the sun goes down, Myrtle Beach lights up in patriotic style with fireworks displays all along the coast. Cherry Grove Pier offers a classic oceanfront backdrop, where your family can watch colorful bursts over the water. At Broadway at the Beach, reflections of color over the surrounding lake add extra sparkle to the show. For a more laid-back fireworks show, head to Barefoot Landing, where you can enjoy shopping, dining, and live entertainment before the big display. No matter where you choose to watch the fireworks in the sky, you’ll find the perfect spot that works best for your family.
This 4th of July, make your family vacation one to remember. Celebrate with sun, surf, and patriotic spirit in Myrtle Beach. Make Sandy Beach Oceanfront Resort your home base for all the fun festivities. Reserve your stay today and get ready for a red, white, and blue vacation your family will cherish for years.
