Take in the sea breeze and watch the fishermen in action. You never know what sea creatures they’ll reel in!
If you’re looking for a break from the heat, head to Myrtle Waves Water Park. With over 30 water slides, multiple attractions and 1.2 million gallons of water, South Carolina’s largest water park is sure to keep you cool during the summer months.
Ripley’s Aquarium is a great educational stop for the family. The aquarium features a wide variety of exhibits that showcase marine life from around the world. You can touch stingrays and horseshoe crabs at the Discovery Center, watch dive shows featuring aquarium experts feeding the animals, and even have the opportunity to pet a jellyfish. It’s a must-visit attraction for families, nature enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a unique and immersive adventure. It’s also a great rainy day option!
