Myrtle Beach SkyWheel- Myrtle Beach, SC
SkyWheel at Myrtle Beach, SC
Take your vacation to new heights. Get the best view of the Grand Strand 200 feet in the air at The Myrtle Beach SkyWheel. It’s located 1110 North Ocean Blvd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577. My family got the pleasure of riding in the SkyWheel in exchange for a review on my website.
The Myrtle Beach Sky Wheel opened in May, 2011, in conjunction with Jimmy Buffett’s Land Shark Bar and Grill. Located at the North end of the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, the Sky Wheel is 200 feet tall, and it’s the best way to see Myrtle Beach! Each night around dusk, the SkyWheel begins its light show, with over 1 million LED lights, the display can be seen up and down the boardwalk. Situated as a centerpiece of the 1.2 mile-long Oceanfront Boardwalk and Promenade, the SkyWheel is surrounded by great restaurants, shopping and the pristine sands of the Atlantic. When you’re done having your breath taken away by the view from the SkyWheel, make sure and browse the LandShark SurfShack and also grab a bite at the LandShark Bar & Grill. It’s delicious!!!
I honestly thought I would get sick and have to push the emergency button (seen above). I’m afraid of heights and didn’t think I would last the entire time. I think the fact that theSkyWheel has climate controlled gondolas (seen below), helped ease my fear! Each ride lasts around 10-12 minutes and offers excellent panoramic views.
