Myrtle Beach in South Carolina is where the air is hotter, the winds are stronger, and the accents thicker.
If you’re dreaming of balmy beach days and silvery white sands, with classic American amusements thrown in for good measure, then a 3-day trip to Myrtle Beach may be on the calling cards.
Myrtle Beach is what I’d consider to be an “All American Destination.” Think bikini-clad tourists occupying every square inch of sand, classic arcades and amusement parks, souvenir shopping galore, and golf courses.
It’s a love it or hate it kind of place, but if you happen to be visiting outside peak summer season, it’s actually quite pretty. The beach itself is pleasant, and there’s lots of attractions for the whole family to enjoy.
If you do have a long weekend coming up, here is a 3-day Myrtle Beach itinerary geared towards families with kids.
About This 3-Day Myrtle Beach Itinerary
Located on the Atlantic Coast, Myrtle Beach is no doubt beautiful, even in winter. This was when we visited.
In this itinerary, we’ve focused mainly on outdoor attractions as this is what our family enjoy. We’re not ones for Ripley’s Aquarium or arcade hopping, which are considered the most popular attractions in Myrtle Beach. We feel like you can do this anywhere.
We’ve also split this itinerary up between downtown Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach, which is actually a separate town.
Myrtle Beach is a quieter, low-key town that’s famous for being the place where the shag dance move (kind of like a jitterbug) was invented.
We also skip the Coastal Grand Mall, the second largest mall in the state, and many other outdoor shopping complexes. We did do some shopping, but we can shop at home.
Though Myrtle Beach is well known for its shopping facilities, so if you do come from a place where good shopping is hard to come by, you may want to incorporate that into your itinerary.
It’s also known for its nightclubs and live entertainment in the evening, which we skipped as we were traveling with our kids, and we also skipped Myrtle Waves Water Park and Family Kingdom Amusement Park as these are really summer attractions and we visited in winter.
