Looking to trade beach towels for paddles? I’ve done just that in Myrtle Beach, SC, and I think you’ll love how kayaking here blends coastal beauty, calm waters, and incredible wildlife encounters. Whether you’re gliding through salt marshes or exploring winding rivers, you’ll find it’s a peaceful, memorable way to experience the area—especially if you’re like me and enjoy a quieter kind of adventure.
Highlights:
- Paddle through quiet salt marshes at Murrells Inlet—I’ve spotted dolphins and egrets here, and it always feels like you’re in your own little world.
- Explore the Waccamaw River’s blackwater beauty—every time I paddle past those towering cypress trees and Spanish moss, I feel completely transported.
- Take a guided eco-tour from Huntington Beach State Park—I’ve learned so much about local wildlife and history on these tours, and I think you’ll enjoy the peaceful setting too.
- Rent a kayak at Cherry Grove—when I want something easy and scenic, I head to the tidal creeks of North Myrtle Beach. You’ll find it quiet and full of little surprises around every bend.
- Experience a romantic sunset paddle or a full moon tour—floating along the Intracoastal Waterway as the sky shifts colors is something I never get tired of, and I think you won’t either.
