Myrtle Beach SkyWheel
Best time to visit
Evening around sunset delivers the best light for ocean-to-boardwalk views and the wheel's LED lighting. Weekdays in spring or fall have shorter lines and milder temperatures.
Budget tips
Single-ride tickets typically cost about $15–$20 for adults, with reduced fares for kids and seniors; free-entry days are uncommon. Buy online in advance, look for boardwalk attraction combos or seasonal promotions, and visit off-peak times to avoid long lines.

About
Hurtige fakta: Rising about 187 feet above the shoreline, passengers get sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Atlantic and the downtown skyline. Enclosed, climate-controlled gondolas hold up to six people each and the wheel’s nighttime show uses roughly 1.2 million LED lights to paint the sky with vibrant colors.
Højdepunkter: Local couples often book one of the two glass-floored VIP gondolas to propose at sunset, the sea-salt air and golden light making photos glow. After dark the wheel performs timed light shows with over 1.2 million LEDs, shifting through palettes that ripple across the water and can be seen from miles away.
Insider tips
- Wear a light jacket after sunset because sea breezes can feel chilly even in summer.
- Book tickets online to skip the ticket line and try to reserve a window-side gondola for unobstructed views.
- Choose a sunset or night ride for the best colors and boardwalk lights, and pick weekdays to avoid peak crowds.
- Stand on the seaward side of the boardwalk before boarding for clear ocean photos, and snap shots quickly when the gondola pauses at the top.
