Myrtle Beach is known for its beautiful coastline, sunny weather, and endless opportunities for fun on the water. If you’re staying at The Breakers Resort, you are already in the perfect location to dive into some unforgettable adventures. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or looking for something the whole family can enjoy, the Myrtle Beach area offers water sports for every level of excitement. Here are the top five water sports to try during your stay in Myrtle Beach:
Jet Skiing
For a high-speed adventure, rent a jet ski and cruise along the Atlantic coastline or explore the scenic Intracoastal Waterway. Jet skiing is a great way to feel the thrill of the waves while taking in the natural beauty of the area. Several rental companies are located just a short drive from The Breakers Resort, and most offer guided tours for beginners.
Surfing and Paddleboarding
Myrtle Beach offers gentle waves that are ideal for beginner surfers and paddleboarders. Local surf schools provide lessons and board rentals, so you don’t need any experience to get started. Paddleboarding, in particular, offers a peaceful way to explore the water while getting a full-body workout. Try an early morning session when the ocean is calm and the beach is quiet.
Parasailing
Soar high above the ocean and take in breathtaking views of the coastline with a parasailing experience. This activity is both exhilarating and surprisingly relaxing, making it a favorite among couples, families, and first-time adventurers. Many parasailing companies operate right off the beach, just minutes from The Breakers.
Kayaking
Kayaking offers a peaceful way to explore the local waterways and spot wildlife like dolphins, herons, and sea turtles. Choose from ocean kayaking for open water exploration or head to the nearby salt marshes and inlets for a calmer, more scenic experience. Guided eco-tours are available for those who want to learn about the area’s marine life and ecosystems.
Banana Boat Rides
If you’re traveling with a group or looking for something fun for the kids, a banana boat ride is a must. These inflatable rides are pulled behind a speedboat and offer plenty of laughs as you bounce across the waves. It is a great way to cool off, enjoy the ocean, and create some unforgettable vacation memories.
