Independence Day is a summer staple in Myrtle Beach, but it’s also one of the busiest days on land. By setting sail instead, you can avoid gridlocked streets, long wait times at restaurants, and elbow-to-elbow crowds.
When the show begins and the fireworks light up the night sky, you’ll have the best seat in town.
