While Myrtle Beach is known for sunny skies and oceanfront fun, every now and then the weather calls for a little change of plans. The good news is that there are still plenty of exciting ways to enjoy your vacation, even when the clouds roll in. From indoor attractions to cozy resort comforts, a rainy day can turn into one of the most memorable parts of your trip.
Visit Ripley’s Aquarium
Located at Broadway at the Beach, Ripley’s Aquarium is a top indoor attraction for families, couples, and curious travelers. Walk through the underwater tunnel surrounded by sharks, rays, and colorful fish, or stop by the touch tank for a hands-on experience. It’s fun, educational, and perfect for all ages.
Catch a Live Show
Myrtle Beach is home to some of the best live entertainment on the East Coast. Spend your rainy day enjoying a high-energy performance at The Carolina Opry or Alabama Theatre. These venues offer music, dance, and comedy shows that are sure to keep your spirits high, no matter what the weather is doing outside.
Explore WonderWorks
If you’re traveling with kids or looking for something interactive, WonderWorks is a great option. This upside-down building is packed with science exhibits, games, and challenges that will keep everyone entertained for hours. From a ropes course to a 6D motion ride, it is a fun way to spend the afternoon out of the rain and indoors.
Enjoy a Seafood Lunch with a View
Just because it’s raining doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a great meal. Head to Sea Captain’s House for fresh seafood and panoramic ocean views. Or check out Strong Waters Craft Cocktails & Kitchen, where creative dishes and handcrafted drinks turn lunch into a laid-back event. These spots are just a short drive from Compass Cove and offer a cozy place to relax and refuel.
Do Some Indoor Shopping
