Myrtle Beach

PARK ADVISORY

Please be aware that parking is first-come, first-served 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.

A large portion of the fishing pier will be closed from 6 am to 11:30 am on Saturday, October 18th for our annual Take a Kid Fishing event. Pier anglers during this time will not have as much available space as usual and will have to fish closer to shore during that time. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping to give kids the opportunity to fish!

The scavenger hunt does qualify for one program towards a Habitat Patch.
