Why Teams Love Staying at The Beach

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is called The Beach by locals and millions of annual travelers for a reason. This place feels like a beach home away from home; that’s why athletes, their families and fans love making the trek to events here. With more than 157,000 guest rooms, travelers can find accommodations that perfectly suit their needs.

From oceanfront resorts with full amenities to cozy condos, golf villas and budget-friendly hotels, The Beach offers options that fit any group size or travel style. Many properties are minutes from major venues, like the John T. Rhodes Myrtle Beach Sports Center and North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex, and all of them are close to the area’s 60 miles of beaches and 1,000+ attractions.

Youth teams especially love the family-friendly resorts packed with pools, lazy rivers and room to spread out. Bigger groups can settle into multibedroom suites or beach houses, while fans attending major events like the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic can opt for a golf resort to get in on the action. If your competition takes place at the convention center, the Sheraton Myrtle Beach – connected directly to the facility – is as convenient as it gets.

When the day’s games are done, teams can explore all that Myrtle Beach has to offer. Whether it’s grabbing a bite, listening to live music, walking the Boardwalk or just kicking back by the waves, there’s plenty to love off the field.
