There are numerous public parking areas along Ocean Boulevard available for those wishing to take a little road trip to the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. If you plan on spending several hours or the whole day around the board walk area, family time at the beach, or doing some shopping, bring along several dollar bills to feed the parking meters. Some of the parking meters take credit cards, but not all of them. Public parking is also available at a large parking garage, located about a block away from the boardwalk, between 9th and 10th Avenue North. The public parking garage’s entrance is located on 9th Avenue North, the garage sign is very visible from the boardwalk and Kings Highway (Business 17). As to be be expected, this area is can get very congested in the afternoons and evening hours during peak summer months and special events, so please plan accordingly. If you prefer parking closer, with more direct access to the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. There are several public parking areas via Ocean Boulevard available for your use. Once you feed the parking meter, you will receive a receipt that you should display clearly inside your car on your dashboard.
