Are birthdays becoming a redundancy for you?
Never fear! You need a little Myrtle Beach in your plans. Getting to the coast is a great way to shake up your birthday this year.
But first, here are some fun facts about birthdays you might not have known.
The Best Way to Plan Your Myrtle Beach Birthday
You can have a blast in many ways on the Grand Strand for your birthday. This little plan is tough to top.
1. START OFF WITH A GREAT STAY AT OCEAN REEF RESORT
Have a wonderful time in a clean, relaxing suite on the beach.
3 things to love at Ocean Reef
- The balcony. Have a cup of coffee to start your day, or a cold beverage to end it (or both!) It’s one of many awesome amenities.
- So many pools. The water attractions are a treat. Relax on the lazy river. Chill out on the outdoor pool deck, and let the kids have a blast at the on-site Shipwreck Water Park.
- Other on-site fun
Play giant chess or checkers. Challenge the birthday person to shuffleboard or a volleyball match. Or start your next year on the planet in the fitness room.
TRY THIS: Begin your birthday with breakfast on the oceanfront at Cafe du Port. Treat yourself to something tasty at the Banana Boat Lounge later. Both are right here at Ocean Reef Resort.
2. SHOP AT BROADWAY AT THE BEACH
The kids will love it! It’s a fantastic place for fun and entertainment.
