The ocean is an integral part of a beach trip.
That’s obvious. Travelers come from far away to enjoy Myrtle Beach, but they do it in various ways. For some, lying next to it or eating beside it, or gazing at it is enough.
For others, being in it is the only way.
This post will examine two watersports on the Grand Strand: Kayaking and Paddleboarding. Both are workouts, and they allow you to see Myrtle Beach from unique perspectives.
Kayaking
What is a kayak?
It’s a watercraft the rider sits in and powers with a double-bladed paddle. Kayaks sit low in the water and have a covered deck, with one or more cockpits for each paddler. You can kayak in any body of water, and often, it’s combined with other activities, such as camping or fishing.

EXPRESS WATERSPORTS
Head to Murrells Inlet for a great kayaking experience in calming tidal marshes. You’ll find a knowledgeable crew and loads of fun out on the water.
Paddleboarding
What is a paddleboard?
It’s gear very much like a surfboard, on which riders propel themselves using their arms. This popular watersport is a full-body workout — and a way to see the Grand Strand a whole new way. You might see others stand-up paddle surfing, which is paddleboarding on your feet.
