Myrtle Beach

PARK ADVISORY

Please be aware that parking is first-come, first-serve and is LIMITED. Shelter guests are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to arrive outside peak hours (10 a.m. - 2 p.m.), especially on weekends and holidays in the summer. The park is extremely busy during this time and may reach normal capacities and close for a period of time. Should you forget something, you may want to check our retail stores before leaving the park, as the wait to re-enter could be extensive, and you could be turned away if the park is at capacity.

We will be camping out on the fishing pier during our Camping Ex-PIER-ience!

The entire pier will be closed to the general public from 10 PM Friday, September 5 to 6:30 AM Saturday, September 6th to accommodate program participants who are spending the night on the pier.

Patch Programs

Kids ages 5 to 105! Don't miss out on earning some cool Myrtle Beach State Park patches. These aren’t available at any other state park! Put some education in your vacation and earn a patch at the same time. For more information, call the nature center at 843-238-0874.

Park Protector

People can complete four of the following to earn a patch: attend programs, complete self-led scavenger hunts or a combination of the two.

If you meet the above requirements, you can receive one of these cool Myrtle Beach State Park Patches for your jacket, backpack, stuffed animal, hat or shirt. While the program is free, we encourage a $3 donation to help sustain our educational initiative to make a difference in the outdoors.

If you attend 9 programs, you become a Park Protector! Park Protectors receive special recognition for their achievement!

If you don't have time to earn a patch, donate $5 and pick a patch of your choice. Patches are available when the Nature Center is open.
