Things to do in Central Myrtle

Central Myrtle Beach is the busiest part of the coast. The Boardwalk and Ocean Boulevard run along the beach, Broadway at the Beach and its surrounding blocks hold many of the big attractions, and Kings Highway and the Highway 17 Bypass carry most of the mini golf, theaters and family fun.

Expect crowds in summer and on holiday weekends, and plan for parking. Many places here sit a short drive from the oceanfront, so a car or rideshare is the easiest way to link several stops in one day.
