Unforgettable Myrtle Beach: 5 Must-See Spots
Myrtle Beach offers a wide variety of activities, so here are my top five things to do while visiting this vibrant coastal city.
You simply have to do the Sky Wheel! Seriously, I was totally blown away by the views. It’s a must-do because it doesn't just show you the city; you get this amazing, slow-motion perspective of the whole coastline.
It's definitely worth the ticket for those few peaceful minutes high above the action.
