Want to enjoy an epic spring break getaway, but running short on time for all the planning needed? No need to worry — thanks to the impressive list of easy-to-reach attractions on the Grand Strand and the prime oceanfront location of Myrtle Beach’s Caribbean Resort & Villas, your planning just got a lot easier!

Consider these five great reasons (plus one additional bonus perk) that’ll make choosing a last-minute escape to the Grand Strand a winning spring break decision:

Great accommodations: With the wide-ranging accommodations available at Caribbean Resort & Villas, you can find just the right setup to keep your vacation crew comfortable — from a luxurious oceanfront suite that sleeps four to a 4-bedroom, 3-bath oceanfront condo that sleeps 12. And whichever option you choose, your party will spend spring break just steps from the beach and within easy reach of all the amazing attractions that Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand have to offer.

A swashbuckling show: Few vacation destinations can offer the excitement of a live show featuring high-diving pirate crews engaging in a battle over treasure that’s waged on land, on deck, in a lagoon and high above a pair of full-sized pirate ships — much less up the ante with mermaids, acrobats, live animals, cannons, singing and dancing. But at the Dolly Parton-produced Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show on North Kings Highway in Myrtle Beach, that’s just what adventure-seeking vacationers will get, all while savoring a delicious four-course meal.

A beachfront state park: Covering 316 coastal acres (primarily occupied by maritime forest) and offering a full mile of deep and undeveloped white-sand beaches, Myrtle Beach State Park puts a long list of outdoor activities within easy reach of Grand Strand visitors, including hiking, swimming, fishing, horseback riding, picnicking or simply relaxing under a beach umbrella.

A treetop adventure: At North Myrtle Beach’s Go Ape! high-ropes course and zipline attraction, thrill-seeking visitors can ascend into the treetops for 2-3 hours of high-elevation fun. For those brave enough to tackle them, the activities offered here include wire-connected walking bridges, suspended obstacles, high-speed ziplines and more, all of which come together to create a visually stunning and immersive forest adventure. Further, the kiddos in your crew can join in, too, as the elevated obstacles, tree-to-tree crossings and 20-foot-high zip lines of the Go Ape! Treetop Junior Adventure provide similar high-elevation thrills for younger adventurers. To learn more, visit the Go Ape! website.

A signature seafood treat: A Grand Strand favorite for 50-plus years, the Sea Captain’s House serves up some of the area’s best seafood — all with sweeping ocean views provided in the dining room and a heaping helping of fresh air available on the spacious outdoor patio. Lunch and dinner specialties at this Myrtle Beach staple include She Crab Soup, New England Clam Chowder, Shrimp Scampi, Shrimp & Grits and Broiled Crab Cakes. For the early risers, breakfast offerings here include unique twists on morning-meal favorites (think Crab Cakes Benedict served over fried green tomatoes or the Seafarer’s Omelet with shrimp and crab meat), all of which can be enjoyed while taking in a sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean.
