When you stay at Myrtlewood by Monarch Rentals, you’ll be just steps away from one of the most iconic and vibrant parts of Myrtle Beach: the Boardwalk & Family Kingdom.
Stretching 1.2 miles from the 14th Avenue Pier down to the 2nd Avenue Pier, this oceanfront walk is overflowing with things to see, do, eat and enjoy. SkyWheel Myrtle Beach — A 187‑200 ft observation Ferris wheel with 42 climate‑controlled, glass‑enclosed gondolas offering panoramic views of the Atlantic coastline, especially beautiful at night when it’s lit up. Plyler Park — A vibrant green space mid‑boardwalk featuring the “Goddess of the Sea” sculpture, frequent live music and community events. Gay Dolphin Gift Cove — One of Myrtle Beach’s iconic souvenir shops. A fun place to get lost (literally) exploring all it’s huge multi‑level gift shop packed with souvenirs, fun photo spots, quirky décor and local flavor. 2nd Avenue Pier & Other Piers — Lovely piers for strolling, fishing, sunsets or just enjoying views out over the ocean. Fireworks often light up the sky from this spot in summer. I Love Sugar is more than just a candy store—it’s an experience. Step inside to find towering candy walls, glowing neon lights, gummy bears hanging from the ceiling and a dazzling 65‑foot mural made from gummy sharks. Grab a bag, fill it up by the pound with your favorite sweets or enjoy their unique ice cream and gelato creations. It’s a perfect stop for anyone with a sweet tooth. Finally at the southern end of the boardwalk, you’ll find Family Kingdom Amusement Park, Myrtle Beach’s iconic seaside park. With over 35 classic rides — including the Swamp Fox wooden coaster, Ferris wheel, log flume and kiddie rides — it’s a fun and nostalgic stop for all ages. While ride tickets are extra, walking through and enjoying the park atmosphere is free.
