One last summer jaunt is in high demand on the Grand Strand.
Will you get to the coast once more this season? If so, will you make the most of it? It’s impossible to do it all, so we narrowed the list to 10 things you should do at the beach before summer ends.
Let’s do this.
Tips to Make Your End-Of-Summer Beach Trip Rock
Don’t waste a second at the wrong beach, with the wrong bag, or sunburned! Here’s a little advice ahead of that late summer trip.
1.) Choose the right resort
What experience are you after? For lively crowds, you’ll want to look at a resort in the middle of it all, such as Bay View Resort.
2.) Bring the bags
A big rolling suitcase is perfect for all your clothes. Also, bring a backpack for a day out and about and a fanny pack for hikes. And a beach bag is a must.
3.) Remember the sunscreen
The sun doesn’t stop shining in late summer. Avoid a late-summer sunburn with the same regiment you used all season. SPF 30+ is best for beach time.
Can You Do 2 of These 10 Things Before the End of Summer?
The implication is that you could do way more than two. But that’s a start.
1. Sunrise at the Beach
Watch the shore come alive with the colors of a coastal sunrise. Check here to find sunrise times for the day you’re going, and plan to be out at least 20 minutes before. Those brilliant colors start happening then.
RECOMMENDED
At Bay View Resort, choose an oceanview room. Take in one sunrise on high, then another from the beach, steps from your resort. Repeat for the rest of your stay.
2. Walk the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk
Take a lazy stroll on the most nostalgic mile on the Grand Strand, from the 14th Avenue Pie to the Second Avenue Pier. Go on a ride on the iconic SkyWheel for a view of Myrtle Beach you can’t get any other way. Share Taco Nachos with your party at the nearby Landshark Bar & Grill.
RECOMMENDED
No boardwalk visit is complete without a spin around the legendary Gay Dolphin Gift Cove. Peruse 26,000 square feet, on seven levels, of countless beach treasures.

Look into a private sunset cruise. Prices are reasonable, and what a great way to spend an evening with your group.

RECOMMENDED
Load up on your favorite sports teams’ gear at the Man Cave Store, and grab a plate of Fish & Chips at American Tap House. Then take on the challenge ahead at Backstage Escape Games.
8. Watch Fireworks
Every weekend is a great candidate for seeing pyrotechnics on the Grand Strand. That’s because fireworks here aren’t only a July 4 and Dec. 31 thing. Many places in Myrtle Beach host weekly displays.
RECOMMENDED
See fireworks every Tuesday and Friday at Broadway at the Beach.
9. Catch a Pelicans Game
The moment you pass the threshold at TicketReturn.com Field, you’re a fan of the home team. You’re in for a major-league experience in a minor-league ballpark. No matter where you’re from, it won’t take but an inning or two to turn you into a Myrtle Beach Pelicans fan.
RECOMMENDED
Grab a lid before you head to the beach, or at the Pelicans team store at the ballpark. They have one of the coolest logos in sports.
10. Eat Seafood
There’s a seafood joint around the bend, no matter where you are on the Grand Strand. Calabash seafood originated in the area, fish deep-fried to crispy perfection. The area has plenty of buffet options and restaurants where you can order fresh seafood by the plate.
RECOMMENDED
Dinner at Captain Benjamin’s Calabash Seafood Buffet is fantastic. For an upscale experience, consider Hook & Barrel. It features a unique atmosphere, a full bar, and an amazing menu. Order a Seafood Tower for the table. It’s a medley of the chef’s selection of fresh seafood.
There’s a Beautiful View at Bay View Resort
And that’s not all you’ll love when you stay here. You’re right on the beach, with a Starbucks onsite and friendly staff to welcome you. Check out the calendar of events in the area, choose your room and dates, and book your stay today.
