Outside Activities at Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach has an extensive range of parks for all types of ladies
and gentlemen who visit the oceanside city in South Carolina. The
city of Myrtle Beach has a million and one activities for your family
and friends to choose from. There are all kinds of ways to get out
of the house and on your feet. Whether you enjoy
golf or other types of sports, Myrtle Beach offers all kinds of
activities. The wide varieties of terrain combine with the comfortable
weather conditions to create a pleasant vacation for your family and
friends. What could possibly be better than sun in your face and the
ocean in your view as you swing your golf club, go on rides or smell
the sweet intoxication of daisies in the wind? Nothing could be better!
One park that is part of the Huntington Estate is known as Brookgreen
Gardens. This garden has America's first public sculpture garden and
the Low Country History & Wildlife Preserve. This lovely garden
atmosphere is a joyous way to spend your trip in South Carolina. You
can also see both of these sites by taking a Low Country Tour, or
a five-hour motorcoach ride.
You will be sure to see nine hundred works of American sculpture nestled
among the fifty acres of landscaping. In the Low Country Preserve,
you will also see native plants and animal habitats, including aviaries,
an otter pond, an alligator swamp and a fox glade. Preserve visitors
have three options for seeing the natural habitat: by foot on the
Low Country Trail, by boat, or on an overland vehicle tour.
Myrtle
Beach knows how to have a glorious time, which is evident in the
number of sports
parks in "Sportstown USA." With over one hundred regulation
golf courses and nearly fifty miniature golf courses, Myrtle Beach
is also called the "golf capital of the world." If you are
up for death-defying speed demons and burning rubber, visit the NASCAR
SpeedPark, on the Highway 17 Bypass, for stock car racing, racing
games and racing simulators. Myrtle Waves Water Park is another place
for thrills and spills, with over 30 water rides. Pavilion Amusement
Park also offers forty rides in addition to a haunted house, games
and shops!
For adventures of another kind, you can also spend a day or two in
one of Myrtle Beach's nearby state parks. Activities here include
camping, renting a cabin, picnicking, fishing and visiting the nature
center, not to mention all the swimming, beachcombing and other water
activities you can enjoy on the one-mile stretch of beach.
