This is my favorite souvenir shop - it's where I go when I need a beach themed gift or souvenir. Located on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, this store gets it's own listing for it's multi-floor store with everything you've ever thought of - seriously. From Elvis statues to fairies to decorative hooks to shirts to shells. If you can't find it there, you don't need it. Be sure to plan for at least an hour to wander each and every corner of this store!

WonderWorks is an amusement park for the mind with 50,000 square feet of “edu-tainment”. The attraction combines education and entertainment with more than 100 hands on exhibits that challenge the mind and spark the imagination. This once top-secret laboratory was located in the Bermuda triangle. An experiment gone awry lifted the laboratory carrying it to Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach where it landed upside down. Luckily all of the exhibits remained intact and available for guests to explore.

Beach access - free but you have to pay to park!!

There's tons of beach access and it doesn't cost anything. My favorite access point is at 8th Avenue North. Look up 8th Avenue Tiki Bar for driving directions.
Excellent beach access point - just pay for parking!

Family Friendly Nightlife

Sure, there are tons of bars and dance clubs but what to do with the kiddos while you're here? There's tons of great stuff to do - here are three to get you started.
Family friendly entertainment meets Cirque du Soleil meets Medieval Times. A truly great experience for the whole family. Pro-tips: Get there early for the pre-show! Pay the extra for the preferred seating - you're more likely to get picked to be a apart of the show from those seats! The Pirate mugs make great souvenirs! We went in February this year and had a BLAST!
