There’s so much to do during a vacation to Myrtle Beach, but in these modern times, a big part of your vacation is sharing all your experiences with social media. With beautiful beaches, nostalgic venues, and everything in between, there are lots of great opportunities for sharing Instagram posts with your friends, family, and followers. Here are some of the best places to snag the perfect pic or video for IG.

 

9th Avenue North and Ocean Boulevard

There are tons of great places to snap a pic of along Ocean Boulevard, but it’s hard to top all the attractions at the intersection of 9th Avenue North and Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach. This corner of the Grand Strand is home to landmark Myrtle Beach destinations like Peaches Corner and the Bowery. Right across the street is Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, home of hundreds of unique exhibits, as well as Myrtle Beach Zipline Adventures, an adrenaline-filled park with 600-foot-long zip lines that reach speeds of up to 40 MPH. On top of all this, you’re also only a few steps away from gorgeous beach views, offering even more great shots to share on Instagram.

 

Apache Pier

There are several piers located around the Grand Strand but Apache Pier holds the crown of the largest in Myrtle Beach, jutting out 1,206 feet into the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, Apache Pier is the longest wooden fishing pier on the entire east coast! For a small entry fee, guests can stroll out onto the pier above the gently rolling waves, enjoying cool ocean breezes and watching as pelicans soar down the coastline. You might even spy dolphins surfacing out past the breakers! Since the pier extends so far out into the ocean, it makes for one of the best spots to take a picture of the Grand Strand shoreline. In addition, fishing gear rentals are available, so you test your angling abilities and snap a shot of yourself hoisting a freshly-caught mackerel, flounder, or red snapper!

 

Broadway at the Beach

Holding the title of South Carolina’s most visited attraction, there’s no shortage of great places to snap a pic for the ‘Gram around Broadway at the Beach! Around Celebrity Square, plenty of restaurants like Hard Rock Cafe and Wahlburgers make for great shots either outside or inside with your mouth-watering meal. After sunset, the area transforms into Myrtle Beach’s nightlife headquarters, with entertainment hot spots like Crocodile Rocks, Fat Tuesday, and Senor Frogs serving up hot beats and cold drinks! Around the rest of Broadway, landmark attractions include Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, Wonderworks, and Ripley’s Aquarium, home to a brand-new penguin exhibit! In addition, you can also snag some exciting videos on the thrill rides at the Pavilion Nostalgia Park, but make sure to hold onto your phone!
