The Myrtle Beach Skywheel
For a must-see attraction, check out the SkyWheel located at Oceanfront Boardwalk and Promenade. Standing almost 200 feet above the gorgeous area, this iconic observation wheel is a unique experience giving you a bird’s eye view of the Myrtle Beach shores!
The SkyWheel lights up the night sky in beautiful colors and you can enjoy your time in a private, fully enclosed climate-controlled gondola.
Even if you’re traveling solo, the SkyWheel never places you in a gondola with other groups. Your comfort comes first not only socially, but with the safe and accessible padded seats within the gondola.
If you need accessible seating and loading, the SkyWheel is happy to accommodate to give everyone an enjoyable experience.
