If you’re craving a little adventure beyond the boardwalk, I’ve got some great suggestions for you. I love taking day trips from Myrtle Beach, and I think you’ll enjoy the scenic drives, charming towns, and hidden gems waiting just a short ride away.
When I want to explore more of the coast, I head to places like Murrells Inlet or Pawleys Island. You can enjoy nature, fresh seafood, and a slower pace that feels worlds away. I’ve also found that spots like Georgetown and Calabash are full of character, history, and delicious food.
If you’re like me and enjoy uncovering new experiences without going too far, I think these day trips will add something special to your Myrtle Beach getaway.
