There are lots and lots of attractions to Myrtle Beach, and you can't really see them all in just a few days.
Hell, the miniature golf courses and pancake houses alone could take months.
But one of the best things, of course, when you're staying on a broad sandy beach like Myrtle Beach is just to walk the beach. Have a look. Talk to a fisherman.

Bend over and look at the shells.
And maybe make believe you're the only one there, even if you are surrounded by evidence that you're not.
If you are partial to such things, a night walk on the beach is always pleasant. And the amusement park at the end of the walk makes a nice frame for the journey.
So, take note of what's going on around you. Participate in a classic American beachfront community. Have some pancakes and have a go at the jurassic miniature golf course.
But most of all, enjoy the views.

Myrtle Beach is a very nice place to go. You can enjoy the beach without all the crowds like you get at the Jersey Shore where I live. The rates in the hotels are very reasonable. And they have so many nice ones overlooking the beach. I never had ocassion to go there until my son moved there. Now I look forward to going there when I visit him.
Yes, we were really surprised at the reasonable rates and the immense and lovely beach!
