How to Play for 7 Days on Your Trip to Litchfield Beach

So, you’re spending a week in Litchfield Beach.

Lounging for days sounds wonderful. After about Day 2, though, it can get boring. And Litchfield Beach is anything but boring. You need a plan to help you get the most out of this sweet getaway.

Here’s our suggestion for a fun-filled week.

The Day-By-Day Way to 7 Days of Fun in Litchfield Beach

Some relaxation, some adventure, lots of fun. This is the way to see it all in the Myrtle Beach area.

DAY 1 - HIT THE BEACH

This bit of paradise is a driving force for why you get away to the coast, right?

  • Bring your blanket, a cold drink, and your beach read
  • Take a long, slow walk on the beach, to nowhere in particular
  • Find a secluded spot and meditate, or sit a bit in silence

RECOMMENDED

Start with good sun-protection habits on Day 1. Apply sunscreen, and wear UV-protection glasses and a wide-brimmed hat.

DAY 2 - MAKE IT TO MURRELLS INLET

Infamous pirate Blackbeard loved to kick it here. Come see why.

  • Bring your bike to the shady, cool Waccamaw Neck Bike Trail
  • Spend time in serenity amid the sculptures at Brookgreen Gardens
  • Take a pontoon boat out for a half-day from Beach House Rentals

RECOMMENDED

Visit the Lost at Sea Memorial at Morse Park Landing (4939 U.S. Highway 17 Business.) It’s a peaceful place with a touching tribute.

DAY 3 - HEAD TO HUNTINGTON BEACH STATE PARK

A castle, gators, and wetlands? It’s at Huntington Beach State Park. 

  • Check out the viewing deck at The Sandpiper Pond Nature Trail
  • Take a self-guided audio tour of Atalaya, a seaside castle in Moorish style built in the 1930s
  • Learn about the Coastal Exploration Program, in which you can take on a new hobby such as birding or kayaking

RECOMMENDED

Take in the sunrise on the gorgeous 3-mile beach. In the cooler early morning, explore the jetty, cast a line, or take a swim.

Sit a spell and appreciate some of the incredible performers in Myrtle Beach,  a short 30-minute drive away.

  • Catch tribute band shows for the Blues Brothers, Elvis, Luke Bryan, and more at Legends in Concert
  • Be entertained by the comedy and magic of renowned Michael Bairfoot at GTS Theater

RECOMMENDED

Try a dinner show in which the meal is actually stellar: Medieval Times. Such passion and talent go into this popular production.

  • Find beach keepsakes and Christmas decor at Lazy Gator Gifts.
  • Get groceries and peruse beach shops in The Market at Murrells Inlet (736 Mink Avenue)
