Autumn is a romantic time to visit the Grand Strand. The summer crowds have dispersed, you no longer need reservations at upscale restaurants, and you may even find you have the beach all to yourselves. Here are a few of our favorite activities for couples looking to plan a romantic autumn getaway on the Grand Strand.
Horseback Riding On The Beach
If you are vacationing in North Myrtle Beach this fall, take a tip from all those romance novels and plan a horseback ride on the beach. Inlet Point Plantation lets you trot across the sand and surf on picturesque Waites Island. Experienced guides will lead you across undeveloped land on a scenic plantation tour, beach trail, or Intracoastal Waterway ride on a majestic steed. Up the romance factor by booking a private sunset or moonrise tour. Excursions last one or two hours, but extended tours are available for couples wishing to enjoy the beauty of Waites Island a little longer.
Wine Tasting
The Grand Strand is a grand destination for wine lovers. Stop in for a tasting at one of our many local wineries, like Coastal Carolina Winery at Broadway at the Beach, or Carolina Vineyards Winery and Duplin Winery at Barefoot Landing. Or visit La Belle Amie Vineyard in Little River. This operating vineyard is open to the public for wine tastings and live music on the deck or shaded lawn area. Check out their website for a schedule of events.
SkyWheel
Towering nearly 200 feet over the oceanfront boardwalk in the heart of Myrtle Beach, the SkyWheel is a one of a kind romantic experience. Take a nighttime spin in one of the climate-controlled gondolas, and experience breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean with your sweetheart by your side. For first class service, opt for the VIP Flight with leather seats, glare-free glass, and a glass-bottom floor! You’ll also get double the flight time, which means more time to snuggle close with your honey.
Moonlit Stroll
The Grand Strand stretches from Little River south, with over 60 miles of beautiful coastline along the way. And what could be more romantic than a moonlight stroll on a sandy beach, hand in hand with the one you love? Bring a picnic dinner and don’t forget a cozy beach blanket! You can watch the sun set as glistening waves caress the shore, and collect seashells as a souvenir of your romantic Grand Strand Getaway.
Romantic Restaurants
In addition to our stunning beaches, the Grand Strand is famous for fabulous, fresh seafood. Craving a candlelit dinner for two? There is a plethora of romantic restaurants to choose from up and down the coast, and all are serving up ambiance and a delicious menu for your special evening.
