If you’re staying with us at Grande Shores Ocean Resort, then you already know you’re in one of Myrtle Beach’s most scenic oceanfront locations. But what you might not know is that some of the best local experiences are completely free! With sandy adventures on the beach and fun outdoor entertainment, there’s something for everyone to do. Let’s dive into three fun (and wallet-friendly) ways to enjoy your Myrtle Beach stay below.
Step outside the resort, and you’re instantly on beach time. There is no driving, no parking, just an endless coastline to explore with the family. Early risers can take advantage of the sunrise by walking on the shore searching for seashells. Those who prefer to sleep in because, well, you’re on vacation, you can enjoy the sunshine and splash time in the afternoon. Bring your chairs and umbrella, pack a picnic, and let the waves set the tone for a perfect day at the beach. Best of all? It’s 100% free!
Just a short drive on Highway 17, you’ll find Barefoot Landing. It transforms into a hub of activity during the summer months. Enjoy live music at one of the many restaurants like Landshark Bar & Grill, Crooked Hammock Brewery, or House of Blues. For those with kids, SummerFest is back, offering not only live music but also entertainment. Plus, stay a little late and enjoy fireworks over the lake every Monday night during the summer. These events are all free to enjoy, but we suggest that you also consider dining at one of the many restaurants at Barefoot Landing.
Looking for something a little different to do in the area? Head a few miles south to the Art Museum of Myrtle Beach. Many overlook this museum, but it’s a hidden gem since admission is free. Explore exhibits featuring regional and national artists to learn more about the history of art. Then, after you visit the museum, head across the street for a fun walk on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. What a perfect combination of culture and coastal views, all with a zero-admission fee!
From soaking up the sun to catching fireworks and exploring local art, your Myrtle Beach vacation doesn’t have to come with a hefty price. At Grande Shores Ocean Resort, we offer you comfort, views, and a location to relax and enjoy every moment. There’s no reason to stretch your budget to do things while on vacation. Book directly with us today, and let the (free) fun begin!
