Have a watersports passion you quench in N. Myrtle Beach? Awesome. If you don’t, it’s easy to learn one!
The Grand Strand is a haven for adrenaline junkies of all degrees.
Whether it’s parasailing or riding a banana boat, there’s something fun for you on the Grand Strand. Here are five things to try on your next trip here to have a blast on the waves.
Try Parasailing
It’s like flying a kite high above the ocean — only you’re attached to the kite! You’re towed behind a boat while attached to a canopy wing, like a parachute. This parasail wing lifts you high in the sky for a huge rush and incredible views.
Where to try it
Downwind Sails: An awesome crew is ready to take you on a thrilling ride.
Ocean Watersports: You’re in for amazing family fun for one of the best times you’ll have in Myrtle Beach.
Try Speed Boats
Ride an engine-powered boat, inboard or outboard, for high-speed excitement. Best for experienced captains, speedboating is an action-packed way to get around. These boats have simple accommodations for 2-6 passengers usually and are 25-60 feet long.
Where to try it
Myrtle Beach Boat Rentals: Cruise the Intracoastal Waterway and Waccamaw River in style.
Try Jet Skiing
Smaller and often easier to drive than a boat, a jet ski gives the operator more control and safety. Did you know a jet ski has a learning mode, too? It’s a snap to climb aboard and have fun on one.
Where to try it
Myrtle Beach Watersports: This’ll become a regular stop for every Myrtle Beach visit. You’ll get excellent customer service and pros giving instruction and guided tours.
Island Adventure Watersports: Rent them on your own or sign up for a jet-ski tour. Their hourly rate includes safety gear, instruction, and fuel.
Try Banana Boats
You can fit the whole crew on a banana boat, and not have to navigate — hold on and have fun! It’s great recreation for adults and teens and gives you a new perspective of the beach. Riders wear life jackets so even those who can’t swim can partake.
