Sunsets are the perfect way to end your day when staying at one of our Myrtle Beach condos. They’re relaxing, romantic and a great time to reflect on the memories made that day. While we’re on the east coast and we can’t see it set over the ocean, there are still plenty of places to enjoy the beauty of a Myrtle Beach sunset. Here are some of our favorite local spots to see a sunset around the Grand Strand.
1. Sunset Cruise
There are a number of companies that offer sunset cruises along the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. They offer complimentary beverages, appetizers and amazing views of the sunsets. A few of our favorites include Island Times, Express Watersports, Barefoot Princess Riverboat, East Coast BrewBoat, and cruises out of the Crazy Sister Marina in Murrells Inlet.
2. SkyWheel Myrtle Beach
If you time it just right, you can board the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel at sunset to experience it from high in the sky. Your private air-conditioned gondola seats up to six people and is a fun experience for all ages with views of the ocean, boardwalk and downtown area. Prices start at just $17.99/adult and $13.99/child for general admission for a 10-minute ride after 5 p.m.
3. Gulfstream Café
Just a few kilometers away from the Paradise Resort, the stunning views at Gulfstream Café of the salt marsh and Atlantic Ocean are parallel to none along the Atlantic Coast of Myrtle Beach.

At Filet’s you have the option to dine in or eat on the deck with a full menu available. Reservations are suggested.
