Things to Do in Surfside Beach

Things to Do in Surfside Beach
Surfside Beach is a small town just south of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It's considered part of the Grand Strand, a more than 60-miles-long stretch of oceanfront communities that is home to dozens of picturesque golf courses. If you stay in Surfside Beach for your next Grand Strand golf trip, consider taking some time to enjoy some of the town's other great attractions.

Legends in Concert

Legends in Concert is one of the only places you'll get to see Elvis Presley, Rod Stewart and The Blues Brothers share the stage in a single evening. Well, perhaps you won't get to see the real legends, but you can enjoy the performances of some of the best music celebrity impersonators in the business. The nightly tribute shows at this venue each feature five distinct celebrity acts, a live backing band and a host of dancers and backup singers.

Crabby Mike's

Save your appetite for the huge buffet at Crabby Mike's, a Grand Strand favorite where the unlimited fresh crab legs are just one of the highlights. Though the wait for a table can be long at times, Crabby Mike's makes it a party with music and a full bar for the adults and face painting, hula hoop contests and other fun activities for the kids. You can also check out the locally-famous Crabmobile and perhaps meet Crabby Mike, the restaurant's namesake pirate, in the flesh.

Wild Water & Wheels

Seafarers and land lubbers of all ages can find something to enjoy at Wild Water & Wheels. This huge complex features pools, water slides, bumper boats, go karts for racers at every level and miniature golf. There are also small carnival rides for younger kids and a thrilling water slide that sends riders on a near-vertical downward drop at speeds up to 45 mph.

Surfside Pier

If you're looking for something a little more relaxing, spend some time on the Surfside Pier. You can enjoy the great view of the ocean waves for free, or you can pay a little to fish right off the side. Rods, reels, bait and tackle are all available for rentals and purchase in the little pro shop on the pier, and if you're hungry, you can stop at Nibils Restaurant, also on-site.

Adventure Falls Golf

Just as the Grand Strand area is known for its ubiquitous golf courses, it's also known for having more than its share of miniature golf courses. Adventure Falls Golf in Surfside Beach is huge, with two full 18-hole courses. One is a little more challenging than the other, so you can choose your course based on whether or not you have small children along for the game. Adventure Falls Golf is also one of the more modestly priced miniature golf courses in the area.
