Winter Wonderland at the Beach
Families walking a palm-lined path strung with colored lights on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, the SkyWheel glowing behind them.

Downtown Myrtle Beach · On the Boardwalk

Nov 25 — Jan 3

Nightly 5–9 p.m. Free Walkable

Where Myrtle Beach gathers when the lights come on.

For six weeks the Boardwalk becomes a walk-through winter — palm trees in snowflakes, the ocean on one side, the whole district lit from Ocean Boulevard to the pier. Come back with the people you came with last year. Bring someone who hasn’t been downtown in a while.

Same nights, same walk, every year. That’s the point.
