An oceanfront indoor pool that’s heated? Yes, please. Though Myrtle Beach doesn’t have a public indoor water park, Coral Beach Resort’s indoor pool is an oasis during cooler seasons or occasional rain showers. Hop in the oceanfront indoor pool—heated to a satisfying 86 degrees—or grab a seat in the nearby hot tubs after a long day exploring Myrtle Beach.
Coral Beach Resort’s spacious oceanfront swimming pool gives you a classic Myrtle Beach experience—perfect for a dip, family fun, or lounging. Soak up the sunshine, grab a cool drink and take in the stunning oceanfront, all without leaving the pool deck. When you get warm, hop on a lazy river tube and let the gentle current cool you down.
Myrtle Beach only has one public water park, Myrtle Waves, which covers all your entertainment needs, offering a wave pool, waterslides and a kid-friendly splash park. As South Carolina’s largest water park, Myrtle Waves provides more than 20 acres of attractions to enjoy all summer long. Here are a few of the highlights:
Myrtle Waves offers a kids’ play area with a wading pool for little ones and a splash park for all ages, helping everyone stay cool and have fun. The interactive play structure accommodates smaller guests, offering three body slides and a waterfall bucket, plus places to explore, splash and swim.
The biggest and best waterslides in Myrtle Beach can be found at Myrtle Waves. Select from body slides, mat slides and tube rides. Thrills include a high-intensity 50-feet-per-second slide, a tube slide with a whirling finish, and a lights-out enclosed ride that ends in a splash.
If you’re looking for a Myrtle Beach family water park, Myrtle Waves’ features hit the mark. The lazy river and wave pool are designed for all ages, so gather the kids or your travel buddies and hit the water. Myrtle Waves is one of Myrtle Beach’s most impressive lazy rivers, providing 330,000 gallons of water for relaxing, splashing and riding.
Choose your adventure at the wave pool. Stick to the shallow end for a more relaxing experience or wade out to buck the surf in the depths. Not only is this the biggest of all Myrtle Beach wave pools, but it’s also South Carolina’s largest. (Life jackets are recommended for young wave pool visitors and inexperienced swimmers.)
Though the splash pad at Coral Beach Resort is the ultimate convenience, it’s great to know where else you can cool down and blow off steam. Pro tip: Keep a towel or two in your car so you’re ready for whatever the day will bring, whether you take an impromptu beach walk or visit a splash pad.

Besides the splash zone, Futrell Park offers a walking path, a revitalized playground and picnic spaces to enjoy between runs through the water.
