Don’t let an entire summer in South Carolina pass you by without a visit to a quintessential water park for a day of slipping and sliding, belly flopping, wave diving, and, of course… floating aimlessly atop an inflated tube on a winding, lazy river.

Myrtle Waves Water Park is the spot to make it all come together. There’s an attraction destined to please everyone in the family at this fun water park.

In addition to all of the fancy attractions (like the 10-story water slide, the bowl funnel, the flow rider and the wave pool) there is a lazy river that winds around the park in the slowest fashion possible.

It’s an ideal way to slow things down a bit for the kids, or to hand the kids off to Dad (or Grandpa) and go take some time for yourself.
