You’ll never find a lack of things to do in Myrtle Beach. From the beach to the golf courses to the never-ending string of attractions, dining and shopping, there’s something for the entire family to enjoy. But if you’re still fishing for something else to do, why not cast a line and experience Myrtle Beach’s abundant fishing options.

With immediate access to the Atlantic Ocean, along with myriad creeks and channels that feed into the ocean, there’s a vast array of salt water fishing opportunities. For those used to fishing in freshwater lakes, you can learn all you need to know by stopping into one of the area bait and tackle shops. Ocean surf fishing typically requires a different type of bait and tackle designed for fishing along the ocean bottom.

For those ready for a bigger ocean fishing adventure, you’ll also find a number of deep sea fishing charters designed for catching larger trophy fish.

In addition to the Atlantic Ocean, the Myrtle Beach area offers a variety of picturesque inland waters offering ideal fishing conditions. These include the Intracoastal Waterway, which runs parallel to the coast as well as other smaller rivers and tributaries that feed into the waterway.

The vast Intracoastal Waterway system runs from Boston to Key West. The waterway was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, taking advantage of existing rivers and other waterways and digging canals as needed to connect them.

The Daytona 500 is a 500 miles (804.7 km)-long NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race held annually at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. It is one of four restrictor plate races on the Cup schedule. Matt Kenseth is the defending champion of the race. The Daytona 500 is regarded by many as the most important and prestigious race on the NASCAR calendar, carrying by far the largest purse.[1] Championship points awarded are equal to that of any other Sprint Cup race. It is also the series’ first race of the year; this phenomenon is virtually unique in sports, which tend to have championships or other major events at the end of the season rather than the start.
