It just hit me today. There’s only five weeks before we’re back-to-school here in Horry County. Between trips, camps, and work, I feel like we’ve been ridiculously busy. Yes, the kids are sleeping a little later, but our days are filled. I think we’ve only been to the beach four times…which is totally unacceptable! So before another minute passes, here’s my Myrtle Beach summer bucket list.
- Spend as many days as possible staring at the big, blue Atlantic on the sand of the Myrtle Beach State Park.
- Attend a nature program (or ten) at the Myrtle Beach State Park
- Ride the Sky Wheel
- Go to a free kids movie at Grand 14 at Market Common
- Read books, and when I’m done, read more books
- Eat outside at Creek Ratz on the inlet
- Go to a Myrtle Beach Pelicans game
- Watch a sunrise over the ocean
- Watch a sunset over the inlet
- Spend a day at Myrtle Waves
- See the fireworks at Broadway at the Beach
- A free Friday night movie at Valor Park
- Eat a “Love it” sized cake batter ice cream with brownies and almonds mixed in from Cold Stone Creamery. Oddly specific, I know, but it never fails me.
- Do a Saturday morning surf lesson with the folks from Island Inspired Surf Shop.
- Find a really big shark tooth!
What’s on your list?

No, I’m not talking about a reunion concert at the House of Blues (thanks, children of the 80’s, for getting that lame joke). The Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre is performing the ballet, Cinderella in March. If their annual performances of the Nutcracker are any indication of how beautiful the show will be, you’ll be delighted.
