Myrtle Beach Offers Affordable Fun for Kids of All Ages
"One of the most coveted attractions of Myrtle Beach is the vibrant SkyWheel—a 187 foot tall Ferris wheel on North Ocean Boulevard, right next to the popular Landshark Bar and Grill. Having opened in 2011, the SkyWheel attracts people from all over to ride in one of the six-people gondolas. The ride lasts for 3 revolutions and gives you a wonderful view of the city and ocean."
"Located on Ocean Boulevard, the SkyWheel is over 187 feet tall and has 42 gondolas. Ride to the very top as you look over the Atlantic ocean glistening during the day or night. If you choose to ride it at night you will be able to see the lights displayed as well as ride the first observation wheel of its kind in the United States."
"Experience a day of wonder in Myrtle Beach State Park, an oasis of nature amid a sea of human development. Located on the south end of Myrtle Beach, the state park is a stark contrast to the high-rise hotels that are just a short walk away. Featuring old-growth maritime forests with hiking trails that lead to the high sand dunes of the beach, this 312-acre oceanfront park was developed by the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) in the 1930s."
