North Myrtle Beach Parks and Recreation announced a new Daycations trip to Murrells Inlet and Georgetown scheduled for August 25, 2026, with registration opening August 3.
Why this matters locally
The program offers North Myrtle Beach residents structured group travel to regional sights and historical landmarks without the stress of driving or planning trip logistics.
The City of North Myrtle Beach Parks and Recreation Department introduced its "Daycations with North Myrtle Beach" program on July 29, 2026, offering residents local group travel to scenic destinations across the Carolinas. The monthly initiative handles transportation using city recreation vans to take participants to regional cities, festivals, and historical sites.
The upcoming trip scheduled for August 25, 2026, focuses on coastal history and water tours in Murrells Inlet and Georgetown, South Carolina. Participants will meet at the J. Bryan Floyd Community Center at 8:00 a.m. for an 8:15 a.m. departure. The morning begins with a stop at Parlor Doughnuts in North Myrtle Beach before traveling south for an airboat tour along the Waccamaw River with Plantation River Tours. The boat trip travels past historic Lowcountry rice plantations, trunk gates, slave cabins, and moss-draped oak trees, with opportunities to spot native wildlife such as alligators, eagles, and osprey.
Following the river tour, the group will head to Front Street along the Georgetown waterfront for lunch and shopping. The afternoon includes a guided tour of the Kaminski House Museum, a preserved Georgian manor depicting 18th-century Southern life with historic antiques and grounds. The trip departs Georgetown at 3:15 p.m., with an anticipated return to the J. Bryan Floyd Community Center around 4:45 p.m. Return times may vary depending on traffic conditions.
Registration opens on Monday, August 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The cost is $90 per person, and reservations are non-refundable and non-transferable. Because the itinerary involves outdoor walking and exposure to varying weather conditions, city staff encourage anyone with mobility or physical concerns to contact the department before signing up.
