It’s true, Myrtle Beach is known for its sunny skies and ocean breezes, but even paradise gets a few cloudy days. Don’t let the rain dampen your vacation! There’s still plenty of fun to be had along the Grand Strand, from indoor attractions to cozy spots perfect for relaxing out of the drizzle. Here’s how to make the most of a rainy day in Myrtle Beach.
Hit the Bowling Alley or Arcade
Places like 810 Billiards & Bowling or Myrtle Beach Bowl offer a full afternoon of fun for families, couples, or friends. Many bowling alleys also have arcades, billiards, and on-site dining, making them a one-stop spot to stay dry and entertained.
Explore Ripley’s Aquarium at Broadway at the Beach
One of Myrtle Beach’s top indoor attractions, Ripley’s Aquarium, is a must-see on a rainy day. Walk through a tunnel surrounded by sharks, pet stingrays, and marvel at the jellyfish exhibits. It’s educational, immersive, and completely indoors.
Catch a Movie at a Luxury Theater
What better excuse to enjoy a cozy movie than a rainy afternoon? Head to The Grand 14 at Market Common or AMC CLASSIC Myrtle Beach 12 for the latest blockbusters, comfy seats, and snacks that go way beyond popcorn.
Go Shopping at Indoor Malls and Outlets
Rainy days are perfect for retail therapy. Visit Coastal Grand Mall for a traditional shopping experience or hit Tanger Outlets (some covered walkways!) for big-brand deals. Don’t forget to check out The Market Common for boutique stores and unique finds.
Take in a Live Show
Myrtle Beach is home to fantastic indoor entertainment. Spend your evening watching a dazzling performance at The Carolina Opry, Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show, or Alabama Theatre. These venues offer everything from comedy and country to musical tributes and theatrical stunts.
