Soar Above It All
Parasailing is a must-do for thrill-seekers and sightseers alike. With New Wave Watersports, your journey starts with a fun banana boat ride out to the parasail. Enjoy the bird’s eye view with Atlantic Watersports. Capture memories with Aloha Watersports’ photo packages so you can stay in the moment.
Paddle, Play, & Cruise
Explore the coastline up close with paddleboard or kayak rentals, solo or with a guide. Start your adventure at Cherry Grove Pier for a calm, scenic spot. For more speed, hop on a jet ski with Action Water Sportz or East Coast Jet Ski Adventures. For a more laid-back pace, rent a pontoon boat for a relaxing sunset ride or splash around with the dolphins on one of Myrtle Beach Watersports’ excursions to find our friendly sea-dwellers.
Cruise the Waterways
Set sail on a fishing trip, a private charter, or even a lively party cruise. Calabash Fishing Fleet, Little River Fishing Fleet, and Pontiki Myrtle Beach offers everything from laid-back tours to karaoke cruises. Hop aboard the Barefoot Queen Riverboat for a sunset or dinner cruise full of music and dancing.
Worth the Waites
The hidden gem around NMB is Waites Island. An undeveloped barrier island, you can reach the shores by boat or personal watercraft. Groups like Great Escapes Kayak Expeditions rent equipment that offers you a unique perspective as you head out to the island. Both companies also take you on guided adventures out to the island and include time to explore.
Surf’s Up
If you want to hang ten and catch a wave, we have some surf that’s perfect for about any skill level. Swimming out and waiting for the waters of the Atlantic to create the perfect crest to ride into shore is an exhilarating experience. Learn from the pros at Kokopelli Surf Camp, or places like Atlantic Watersports will rent you a board if you didn’t bring your own.
Cherry Grove is a great place to ride the waves. It’s not super crowded so surfers and wakeboarders can space out. And, the best part, Cherry Grove doesn’t have limited hours.
