About the SkyWheel at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
The Myrtle Beach SkyWheel towers 187 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, anchoring the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk as the tallest Ferris wheel on the East Coast and one of the most recognizable landmarks along South Carolina's 60-mile Grand Strand. Since opening in May 2011, this modern observation wheel has welcomed millions of riders in its 42 climate-controlled gondolas (six of which are glass-bottom VIP gondolas for the brave), each holding up to six passengers on a 10-minute rotation that provides breathtaking 360-degree views. From the top, riders look down upon miles of pristine beach stretching north to North Myrtle Beach and south toward Murrells Inlet, the Atlantic's endless horizon, and the bustling Myrtle Beach strip with its hotels, attractions, and entertainment venues. The SkyWheel's nighttime illumination transforms it into Myrtle Beach's beacon—a spectacular LED light show featuring one million lights creating dynamic patterns visible for miles along the coast, drawing crowds to the Boardwalk for evening rides above the city's twinkling lights. Located at 1110 North Ocean Boulevard, the SkyWheel anchors the 1.2-mile Myrtle Beach Boardwalk & Promenade that's become the heart of Grand Strand tourism—families stroll the oceanfront walkway connecting resorts, restaurants, attractions, and shops while street performers entertain and the ocean provides a constant soundtrack. Myrtle Beach's transformation into America's favorite family beach destination draws over 20 million visitors annually to the Grand Strand's 60 miles of wide sandy beaches, warm Atlantic waters, and endless entertainment options. The city's appeal spans generations: families enjoy amusement parks like Family Kingdom, Broadway at the Beach shopping and entertainment complex, Ripley's Aquarium, and countless mini-golf courses; golfers play over 100 championship courses earning Myrtle Beach the title "Golf Capital of the World"; and spring breakers flock to the Grand Strand's legendary beach party scene. Beyond the SkyWheel and Boardwalk, Myrtle Beach offers diverse attractions—the historic Myrtle Beach Pavilion nostalgia, Brookgreen Gardens' sculptures and lowcountry gardens, Myrtle Beach State Park's maritime forest, and fresh seafood restaurants serving she-crab soup and calabash-style seafood. The area's culture blends coastal Carolina tradition with modern beach resort energy—shag dancing (South Carolina's state dance) thrives at clubs along Ocean Boulevard, beach music festivals draw Carolina beach lovers, and that distinctive Southern hospitality defines Grand Strand character. The SkyWheel operates year-round, offering different experiences each season: summer nights with fireworks views, spring break excitement, fall's comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds, and winter's clear visibility and holiday light displays. Riding the SkyWheel has become a Myrtle Beach rite of passage—couples share romantic sunset rides, families create vacation memories, marriage proposals happen at the top, and visitors capture that perfect Instagram moment 200 feet above the Atlantic. Whether experiencing the thrill of the glass-bottom gondola, watching dolphins play in the surf below, seeing the sun set over the Grand Strand from above, or simply being part of Myrtle Beach's vibrant boardwalk scene with the illuminated wheel as backdrop, the SkyWheel delivers that quintessential Myrtle Beach vacation magic. This vibrant poster honors the iconic wheel, boardwalk energy, and family beach memories that make the SkyWheel the symbol of South Carolina's Grand Strand.
