Fun Stuff To Do on the Water in Myrtle Beach

As water temperatures rise, that pull to get out on the waves gets stronger, doesn’t it?

Winter getaways to Myrtle Beach are sublime. Escaping to the Grand Strand in spring? Spectacular. But there’s nothing like summer fun in the sun here.

A big part of that: Watersports.

Here’s your guide to having a blast in the waves this summer in Myrtle Beach. Whether you seek thrills or to chill, there’s something here for you. Don’t forget the sunscreen!

For Parasailing

Ever see those cool parachutes way over the ocean and think, ‘I could do that”? You definitely can, and it’s a thrilling view you can’t get any other way. Downwind Sails Watersports can take you 300 feet above the waves for a memorable trip.

For Jet Skiing

Island Adventures Watersports rents these wave-running watercraft hourly, including instruction and safety gear. It’s a phenomenal operation with new, fast, 2020 model jet skis. Get friendly expert instruction if you need it, too.

For Mothership Kayaking

Ride out onto Murrells Inlet aboard the Osprey, then venture off in inflatable kayaks. By taking a mothership, you can explore places that would be difficult to reach for an adventure. Check out Blue Waves Adventures for this one-of-a-kind experience.

For Luxury Boat Renting

Cruise the waterway in a premium watercraft from Beach House Boat Rentals. Choose a 24-foot cruising tritoon with the capacity to carry as many as 11 people. Check out a fleet of other luxury craft to take your party out onto the water.

For Wakeboarding

Island Adventures Watersports is your spot for another fun activity: Wakeboarding. Take a scenic trip on the Waccamaw River with as many as six people, for beginners or experts. You’ll be pulled behind a boat on a surfboard-like board for a thrilling ride.

For Banana-Boat Riding

For Trying New Things

How about a sunset kayak tour for an amazing, peaceful experience? There’s a world of wildlife and water features in this area to discover. Some outfits have the guides and means to reveal this world to you, such as Kokopelli Surf Camp.
