We felt like we had plenty of space on the beach away from others. The waves were really rolling. Did not see any lifeguards out at the area where we were. Though they must be there as we did see a few rescue trucks drive by while we were out playing on the water. The water was a little cold upon first touch but felt good after getting acclimated to it. Watched the sunrise over the beach the last morning we were in the area. Love myrtle beach.

Public access entryways are located about every half mile or so and can be found all the way down until the inlet ends. Only the main pier access has parking and a shower head and spicket to rinse the sand away. The rest are just entryways. Parking can be quite difficult at times so be patient. The public access stair rails are well taken care of and help protect the dunes. The sand from the dunes is further back and has overtaken some of the walkways so be careful when you are trying to access the beach. The further south you go from the pier, the more beach space you will have for your group or to engage in an activity like spikeball, baseball, frisbee, etc. The sand is very nice and makes for great sand castles. We've spotted dolphins and fish from time to time. There are no lifeguards but the local law enforment does patrol to ensure attendees are behaving.

We tried setting up at 6 am to get a spot and the jerk actually went out of line in front of us and put to sets of umbrellas with 4 chairs each up so we couldn't walk to the beach without walking at least 30 yard out of our way on either side. Best part - nobody had reservations on them; they were for rent. And we're not rented all day.

Along the 1.4-mile-long promenade, you will also find multiple stages, which feature concerts as well as arcades and other entertainment. Well, to be honest, It was okay for me. I am from the jersey area and we have point pleasant beach & boardwalk, ashbury, wildwood, Seaside heights, and ofcourse Atlantic city... so might be I was expecting it more - so it was just okay for me. After 2 blocks, I was like where is the rest of the boardwalk? But then it was all Promenade. The Boardwalk starts at the 14th Avenue North pier and winds down through Plyler Park to the 2nd Avenue Pier. There are also several arcades located on the boardwalk, such as Family Kingdom Amusement Park. Myrtle Beach Boardwalk & Promenade is not your average boardwalk. Instead of just a straight wooden street meandering along the oceanfront, you'll find separate sections with their own character, just waiting to immerse you in coastal fun.
