Myrtle Beach

South Carolina holds one of the greatest family vacation spots, in my opinion.
Myrtle Beach is located on the coast of South Carolina and has an amazing array of things to do for all ages. The best hotels are located along the strip of Myrtle Beach and offer a ton of beach side activities. Whether it is a get away for the two of you or a family vacation, the resorts offered are great.

If you plan on doing more beach activities then I would suggest staying at the Myrtle Beach Resort because it offers a ton of pool space and beach front with its property. However, if you plan on going to the amusement park or off the beach a lot, most likely with a family, then I would look into the hotels that are closer to whatever you plan on doing. Specifically, if you plan on going to the amusement park, I’d suggest staying at the Bar Harbor Resort. It is only three blocks away from Family Kingdom and it caters to families.

The amusement park itself is called Family Kingdom. It is a really special place for families to go and have fun on the rides and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It has more than 30 rides including their famous wooden roller coaster and South Carolina’s largest ferris wheel. The best thing about the ferris wheel is the fact that it gives you an amazing view of the ocean. There is also a fantastic water park where you can go if it is too hot out for the roller coasters. The water park is only open from May 30 to August 31, but the amusement park is open from March 21 to September 27. You can get admitted into the park for free just to enjoy all of the sights and sounds. In order to ride the rides and participate in the fun, the best value is the Amusement Park and Water Park Combo Pass. It is 32.35 (plus tax). This gives you one amusement park all day unlimited ride wristband and one water park all day unlimited ride wristband. You can use them on the same day or different days. Other prices and deals are available either at the park or online.

This location seems ideal for families with younger children who would enjoy an amusement park and beach. I’m sure it would be great for couples wanting to get away, but for another family vacation spot I’d really look into this! My advice is to go during the months of warmer whether (May to September) because it will give you more options during the day.
