Myrtle Beach – Fun for Kids Anytime of Year!

Although Myrtle Beach is known as a summertime sun and fun destination, especially for families, there is fun to be had in the off season as well. Looking for a family weekend getaway? The winter months are a great time to visit Myrtle Beach as crowds are smaller and rates are lower. Marina Inn at Grande Dunes offers luxury accommodations for families of all sizes from studio rooms to four-bedrooms suites, all conveniently located near many area attractions.

So what can you do in Myrtle Beach when the weather isn’t quite warm enough for beach days or water sports? We have a few ideas:

Pirates Voyage
