With 60 miles of beaches, endless walking views, southern eats, and great weather, Myrtle Beach is a top destination for families. When visiting with a baby, you’ll want to bring some essential items to make your trip more enjoyable. Traveling with limited space means planning ahead and prioritizing the functionality of the items you bring.
On a long trip with baby, you’ll want a carrier for storage and support. Tushbaby is a multifunctional hipseat baby carrier that doubles as a fashionable diaper bag and nursing pillow, allowing you to streamline your packing list and ditch the extra baby baggage at home. It’s the only carrier that evolves with your child’s changing needs while being built to support you. Tushbaby features five storage pockets and four carrying positions—and when paired with The Snug attachment wrap, it transforms into a hands-free carrier with two extra carrying positions for babies over 12lbs.
Ready for more Myrtle Beach baby travel tips? Here’s what you should know.
Is Myrtle Beach baby friendly?
Myrtle Beach is one of the East Coast’s top vacation destinations for families. Filled with free and fun attractions and Southern charm and hospitality, Myrtle Beach should definitely be on your radar for a vacation with a baby. It can get hot in the summer, so check temperatures before visiting—and as a top tourist destination, it can get overly crowded during peak seasons like summer. You may prefer to visit during less busy off-season times when traveling with a baby. Myrtle Beach is known for being well-kept and clean, which are two reasons why it’s one of the better beach destinations for families with a baby.
What part of Myrtle Beach is best for kids?
Central Myrtle Beach offers the most activities to do with families. From peaceful beaches to dining and easily accessible attractions, central Myrtle Beach is more affordable and family-friendly than other parts, which is a win-win. There are three parts of Myrtle Beach: North Myrtle Beach, central Myrtle Beach, and South Stand. There is no “main” area of Myrtle Beach, but the part you visit can influence your stay.
Fun Things To Do in Myrtle Beach With a Baby
Visit Myrtle Beach State Park or Huntington Beach State Park with your baby
These two Myrtle Beach State Parks are relaxing, gorgeous, and filled with outdoor activities. At Myrtle Beach State Park, you can bond with your baby as you explore the sights and sounds of low-flying planes and crashing waves. At Huntington Beach State Park, you can enjoy crystal clear waterfront views and activities like picnicking, hiking, biking, and fishing —all of which you can do with a baby.
Regardless of the park you visit, prepare for a long day outside with your baby. Bring snacks, wipes, diapers, towels, sun protection, a baby carrier, a foldable changing pad, and more. When you bring your Tushbaby hip carrier to the beach or park, you’re equipped with a versatile carrier that promotes bonding and provides feeding support, storage pockets, and a stylish way to carry your baby and belongings. Stash your feeding cover in one of the five storage pockets of the Tushbaby, and seamlessly transition from other carrying positions to rest your baby in the feeding position when it’s time to eat. Between proper support and the glorious views ahead, this will be a memory with your baby that you’ll cherish forever. When naptime rolls around, pair The Snug with the Tushbaby for hands-free babywearing—it’s perfect for children 12-45lbs, and can be worn with baby facing in or out. It buckles to the base of the Tushbaby and is worn over the shoulders, and can even be stored in the Tushbaby under-seat pocket. It’s the same back-saving *relief* of a hip carrier with the hands-free flexibility of babywearing—the ultimate 2-in-1.
Your baby may crave a calming pacifier before taking a nap, too—attach our The Pod to just about anything from your beach bag to your carrier to keep a clean and sand-free paci handy. The Pod can hold other small items, too, like earbuds, lipstick, or credit cards for quick access.
WonderWorks at Myrtle Beach
The perfect combination of education and entertainment is WonderWorks at Myrtle Beach. While WonderWorks is geared more toward toddlers, you may still end up lugging them around during a long and exciting day. When the exhaustion hits, be ready to comfort and keep them going. The Tushbaby is designed for babies 0-3 years old, and has an open-style design for quick up-and-downs when your little one wants to play in the many Wonder Zones. The ability to fold up your Tushbaby for easy storage, pair the Crossbody Strap to carry it over your shoulder, or simply leave it on when you’re not babywearing makes it the perfect carrier for long, busy days—which is really any day with a baby in your life. Take your readiness one step further by packing The Snug in the under-seat pocket of the Tushbaby for hands-free babywearing. Carry your baby hands-free face-to-face or forward-facing up to 36 months old or 45 pounds (same as the Tushbaby) when you pair The Snug with the Tushbaby.
Spend time at Savannah’s Playground
Known as one of the most unique playgrounds in Myrtle Beach, Savannah’s Playground is a free park to visit that offers you and your baby some social interaction, fresh air, and fun. Strollers at the park are a nice-to-have if your baby is walking already, but your stroller may be left unattended from time to time and can’t go everywhere with you. Consider packing your valuable personal belongings in our mini-wearable diaper bag, The Pack, for park days. Worn across the chest, back, or around the waist, The Pack allows you to keep items that you don’t want to lose on your body while keeping your hands free. It features multi-storage pockets and a hook for your keys, making it so much more than a stylish belt bag.
If your baby isn’t walking, you’ll definitely want to babywear at the park. The Tushbaby hip seat carrier straps high and tight above the wearer’s hips, while the baby sits on the plush hip seat in one of the four carry positions (face-to-face, side carry, forward-facing, and feeding). As you carry your baby with support, you can relax and soak in the moments as you interact and bond with your baby at the park.
