Local Area Guide

Grissom Parkway Trail Travel Guide

We built this guide so your team doesn't have to figure it all out from a Google search. Neighborhoods, restaurants, game day logistics, local tips — it's all here.

Welcome to the Grissom Parkway Trail area guide, designed for visitors exploring Myrtle Beach’s natural beauty and recreational opportunities. This guide focuses on making your experience seamless, whether you're a local resident or a visiting family. Discover the best of the trail, nearby attractions, dining options, and essential services to enhance your visit. Navigate the area with confidence, from parking and access points to local amenities that cater to outdoor enthusiasts.

Section 01

Neighborhood Overview

The Grissom Parkway Trail is situated in the heart of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, offering a convenient escape from the bustling boardwalk and beach crowds. Easily accessible via major thoroughfares like Highway 17 Bypass and Grissom Parkway itself, the trail provides a green corridor through a developed urban landscape. Parking is available at various access points, most notably near the intersection of 21st Avenue North and Grissom Parkway, with additional smaller lots peppered along its length. For travelers, Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) is approximately a 15-20 minute drive, depending on traffic. Rideshare services and local taxi companies are readily available to reach trailheads or nearby accommodations. To make the most of your visit, consider arriving during off-peak hours, such as early morning or late afternoon, to avoid congestion at popular access points and parking areas. Planning your entry point strategically will significantly improve your experience, allowing for a more relaxed start to your trail adventure.

Section 02

Where to Stay

Accommodations in Myrtle Beach are clustered around the main tourist areas, with a concentration of hotels and resorts lining Ocean Boulevard and Highway 17 Business. While the Grissom Parkway Trail itself doesn't have hotels directly adjacent, you'll find numerous options within a 5-15 minute drive. Areas further west along Highway 17 Bypass often feature more budget-friendly motels and chain hotels, providing convenient access to the trail and other city attractions. For those seeking to be closer to the ocean, the beachfront hotels offer stunning views but will require a short drive or ride to reach the trail. During peak seasons and major local events, hotel occupancy can be high, so booking well in advance is strongly recommended. Utilizing map filters to search for lodging within a certain radius of the trail or key access points can help you find a suitable location. Many visitors choose lodging that balances proximity to the beach with easy access to inland amenities like the trail.

Section 04

Trip Day Flow

Arrival & Pre-Event

Begin your day by arriving at one of the Grissom Parkway Trail’s designated parking areas, ideally before the mid-morning rush. This allows for ample time to find a spot and prepare for your activity. Lace up your walking shoes, adjust your gear, and take a moment to enjoy the crisp air before hitting the path. Familiarize yourself with the trailhead map to plan your route and note any amenities available. Ensure you have water and any necessary snacks for your excursion, as provisions are limited once you are on the trail.

During the Event

As you move along the trail, take time to appreciate the diverse scenery and local flora. Whether you’re walking, jogging, or cycling, maintain a steady pace and be mindful of other users. Pause at designated resting spots or scenic overlooks to hydrate and take in the surroundings. Keep an eye out for wildlife, but maintain a respectful distance. If you packed a picnic, find a suitable bench or grassy area to enjoy a break and recharge. Stay aware of your surroundings and the time, especially if you have other plans for the day.

Post-Event & Departure

After completing your chosen segment of the trail, make your way back to your parked vehicle. Take a few minutes to stretch and cool down before embarking on your next activity. It’s a good time to reflect on your trail experience and perhaps plan your next visit. Ensure you leave the trail area as you found it by packing out any trash. If you’re heading to another part of Myrtle Beach, consider the typical traffic patterns for the time of day to plan your departure efficiently.
