Even Santa loves the beach! Head to Myrtle Beach State Park for some holiday fun. Bring your camera for a one-of-a-kind Christmas photo with your family (including pets). The day will also feature holiday beach games and races, roasting marshmallows, marine inspired carnival games, crafts, hot dogs and more. The pier gift shop will be having a sale, so grab a unique holiday present here. This is a great way to escape the stress of the season and have fun outdoors.
