As a guest of the Dayton House Resort, you have many great amenities at your fingertips. The vast oceanfront lawn, the sandy Atlantic Ocean and amazing views each direction you look. But, maybe you want to check out a different view and enjoy a new look at Myrtle Beach from the water that surrounds it.
How about trying a guided paddleboard tour? Consider one of these five local outfitters offering guided stand-up paddleboard (SUP) tours of some of the local waters:
Jack’s Surf Lessons: Offering SUP tours in the calm waters of Murrells Inlet on the Grand Strand’s southern end, Jack’s one- and two-hour guided excursions are provided at either sunrise or sunset. Along the way, guests are likely to see an array of local wetland wildlife. Bonus: For those looking to grab a few zen moments while floating atop the local waters, Jack’s also offers SUP Yoga sessions in conjunction with local yoga studio Yoga in Common.
