Things to Do: Myrtle Beach's Myrtle Waves Water Park

After an amazing day on the beach or at Broadway at the Beach doing some world class shopping, take the whole gang over to Myrtle Waves Water Park for some extra fun. As South Carolina's largest water park, Myrtle Waves Water Park has over 20 acres of fun rides, slides, curves and much more. This fantastic water park has been entertaining people in Myrtle Beach since 1985. From a volcano that “erupts” 700 gallons of water every five minutes, to a special Bubble Bay for toddlers and small children, Myrtle Waves Water Park has a ride for every member of the family. You can choose from two different raft rides: the LayZee River or the Racin’ River. The LayZee River takes you on a calm 1,200 feet long ride around the whole park while lounging on a raft and taking in some sun. However, if you want something faster, the Racin' River gives you a fast-paced 250 foot long ride. Whatever you choose, Myrtle Waves Water Park is the guaranteed to show you a great time!
