Nearby Rainy Day Activities in Myrtle Beach



Though North Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach are known for their pristine, sandy shores and ideal beach weather, we are not immune to a rainy day every now and again. You might be a little disappointed at first if the weather is not beach-worthy, but fret not, as the Grand Strand offers plenty of other family friendly activities to keep you busy during your stay, many of which are just a short drive from Ocean Creek Resort. Plus you’ll be happy to know that typically, when it rains in the area, it’s just brief passing shower and certainly nothing that will make you spend your entire day indoors.



Curious about what’s around town? Check out our roundup of the top “Rainy Day Activities” and be prepared for whatever weather might bring.






Barefoot Landing



This waterfront venue is located right across from Ocean Creek Resort, meaning you won’t have to travel far for family friendly fun!

Visitors can also tempt their senses at the 7D Cinema or try and navigate through the winding Mirror Maze. Barefoot Landing also offers an array of local shops and restaurants, giving you plenty to do to fill up your entire day!

Other popular places to shop include nearby Barefoot Landing and Coastal Grand Mall, which is about a 20 minute drive south.
