The mile-long stroll was perfect for people-watching and grabbing an ice cream cone! I found the coolest murals and even took a goofy photo with the giant shark statue near the Gay Dolphin.

Waking up early was tough, but capturing the sunrise over the Atlantic with the pier stretching out was pure magic. It was so peaceful watching the fishing lines cast out.

Nature’s Beauty & Historical Charm

Myrtle Beach has a wild, beautiful side too! Heading just a little south brought me to incredible state parks and gardens that were a total escape. The change of scenery gave my feed a gorgeous, natural refresh with mossy oaks and a real-life castle!

Can you believe there’s a Moorish-style castle right on the coast?! It was so fun exploring the courtyard and the dramatic archways. It made me feel like I was on an epic movie set.

Myrtle Beach knows how to have fun, and the attractions are a photo-op waiting to happen! We stopped at one of the biggest entertainment centers and found the most wonderfully bizarre backdrops. Talk about content that stops the scroll!

This huge complex has everything! I loved the colorful, upside-down building of WonderWorks and the tranquil look of the main lake area. So many different vibes in one spot!

I fell in love with the penguins! Their exhibit is so bright and fun, and I got the cutest shot of them waddling around. A great indoor spot for a rainy day or to beat the heat!

I stood at the foot of a 40-foot volcano that feels like it could actually rumble! The air is thick with the sweet smell of tropical flowers, and classic Hawaiian guitar music is playing. It's so over-the-top and cheesy, but in the best way!!

The moment I walk in, I'm hit with the classic, loud cha-ching of ticket machines and the smell of cotton candy. This isn't one of those new, sleek arcades. It's the real deal, a true piece of boardwalk nostalgia that’s been here forever:)

Heading inland to Conway felt like stepping into a cozy Southern town. The Riverwalk is lined with beautiful old oak trees draped in Spanish moss, it's incredibly romantic and photogenic.

I saw this epic "Surf's Up" beach mural online and had to find it! It’s this massive, colorful painting of a perfect beach day. It's the ultimate backdrop to capture that classic Myrtle Beach feeling!

If you want those classic, untouched beach photos with sea oats and dunes, this is the spot! The pier here is less crowded and gives you that perfect, natural coastal shot. It felt so relaxing and wild.
