Water Activities to Try: Jet Skis, Paddleboarding, and More!

Your Guide to Aquatic Fun in Myrtle Beach

 

When you book a stay with Prista Vacation Rentals, you’re not just securing a great place to relax—you’re placing yourself in the heart of one of the East Coast’s most exciting destinations for water sports. From the thrill of jet skis to the tranquility of paddleboarding, Myrtle Beach offers unforgettable aquatic adventures for all ages and energy levels.

Let’s dive into the top Myrtle Beach water activities to try during your stay.


1. Jet Skiing in Myrtle Beach

If speed is your thing, nothing beats the excitement of jet skiing along the Atlantic coast or the Intracoastal Waterway. Local operators, such as Action Water Sportz and Myrtle Beach Watersports, offer rentals and guided tours, including popular dolphin-watching excursions.

Why Try It?
It’s fast, exhilarating, and a great way to see the coastline from a new perspective.

Tip: Morning tours often have calmer waters and better wildlife sightings.


2. Paddleboarding Along Calm Waters

Prefer a slower pace? Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is perfect for soaking in the beauty of Myrtle Beach’s calm inlets and creeks. Rentals and lessons are available from Jack’s Surf Lessons, conveniently located near many Prista properties.

Where to Go:
Murrells Inlet and the salt marshes are ideal for first-timers and seasoned paddlers alike.


3. Explore by Kayak

Get even closer to nature with a guided kayak tour. Paddle through scenic wetlands, spot wildlife, and learn about the local ecosystem. Black River Outdoors offers family-friendly eco tours that combine fun with education.

Best For:
Nature lovers, couples, and families with kids ages 6 and up.


4. Soar Above with Parasailing

If you want a view like no other, parasailing delivers. Fly hundreds of feet above the ocean with Downwind Sails Watersports and enjoy an unforgettable panoramic view of the Grand Strand.

Fun Fact:
Many companies offer tandem and triple flights so you can fly with friends or family.


5. Banana Boat Rides: Fun for the Whole Family

If you’re traveling with kids or just looking for a group thrill, hop on a banana boat ride. These inflatable rides are pulled by speedboats and offer a fun, splashy experience everyone can enjoy. Most banana boat tours leave from the main beach areas near your Prista Vacation Rental.


6. Deep Sea Fishing Adventures

For those who want to combine relaxation with a little sport, chartering a deep-sea fishing boat is a must. From half-day excursions to full-day trips, you’ll find plenty of options to reel in snapper, grouper, and even shark. Check out Voyager Deep Sea Fishing in North Myrtle Beach for a full-service experience.
