The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade runs 1.2 miles of oceanfront from the 14th Avenue Pier to the 2nd Avenue Pier — the strand's front porch. Carmen and Brian, who walk it the way locals check the weather, supply most of this page's films.

MYRTLE BEACH BOARDWALK & OCEAN BOULEVARD WALKING TOUR!

Carmen and Brian

Carmen and Brian's benchmark Boardwalk and Ocean Boulevard walking tour. Carmen sets the geography first: the Boardwalk runs just under two miles round trip end to end, and this film works the central stretch where the restaurants, entertainment and the SkyWheel concentrate, then closes with the practical part — where the parking actually is.

Key takeaways
  • The Boardwalk is just under two miles round-trip, end to end
  • This tour covers the central restaurant-and-entertainment stretch
  • Parking options near the central Boardwalk are pointed out at the end

MYRTLE BEACH BOARDWALK TOUR!

Carmen and Brian

Carmen and Brian's short, sharp Boardwalk tour — the oceanfront shops and attractions only, in about three minutes. Oceanfront Bar & Grill's sea-facing seating sets the scene; the point of the film is the reminder that half the Boardwalk experience sits across Ocean Boulevard, in the attractions on the other side of the street.

Key takeaways
  • A 3-minute orientation to the oceanfront strip
  • Oceanfront attractions only — the Boulevard side gets its own coverage
  • Made as a vacation-planning quick reference

MYRTLE BEACH BOARDWALK & OCEAN BOULEVARD ATTRACTIONS WALKING TOUR!

Carmen and Brian

The companion walking tour: Boardwalk plus the Ocean Boulevard attractions across the street, in one continuous walk. Carmen's case for the area is the combination — places to eat and drink and be entertained on one side, the ocean and the palm trees on the other — and the film loops back to its oceanfront starting point past the coffee house.

Key takeaways
  • Both sides of the street in one walk: Boardwalk and Ocean Boulevard
  • The pitch is the pairing — entertainment one side, ocean the other
  • A full loop from and back to the oceanfront start

The walks

Their benchmark tour works the central stretch where the restaurants, entertainment and the SkyWheel concentrate, then closes with the practical part: where the parking actually is. The short companion tour makes the structural point — half the Boardwalk experience sits across Ocean Boulevard, in the attractions on the other side of the street — and the attractions edition walks both sides in one continuous pass.

Two personalities

The June tour rides it by bicycle end to end and shows the split: the calm, residential-feeling southern end and the dense attraction core most visitors mean by 'the Boardwalk.' The August film walks it in serious summer heat, past the still-empty ground-floor spaces readers keep asking about.

What's NEW on the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk in June! Full Tour!

Carmen and Brian

A June Boardwalk tour by bicycle — Carmen and Brian ride it end to end, from the quieter hotel end to the central SkyWheel stretch and up to 16th Avenue North. Riding shows the Boardwalk's two personalities in one pass: the calm residential-feeling southern end and the dense attraction core most visitors mean by 'the Boardwalk.'

Key takeaways
  • Full-length ride: quiet hotel end to the SkyWheel core
  • Northern reach covered to 16th Avenue North
  • Best single film for the Boardwalk's layout and distances

MYRTLE BEACH Boardwalk Tour in August! What's NEW?

Carmen and Brian

An August Boardwalk tour in serious heat — Carmen and Brian walk the strip at the height of summer to show what's new and what's open. Viewer favorite Dirty Don's gets its mention (they know the Market Common location), and the film keeps an eye on the still-empty ground-floor spaces readers keep asking about.

Key takeaways
  • Peak-August conditions: the hottest version of the Boardwalk
  • Dirty Don's is the viewer-recommended stop on this stretch
  • Change-watch format: new openings and still-vacant spaces noted
