Myrtle Beach Sunset S'mores

If you’re looking for a sweet way to end your day in Myrtle Beach, you’ve got to check out Sunset S’mores at River Island Adventure. Picture this: golden skies over the Waccamaw River, crackling fire pits, soft music, and s’mores in hand. It’s simple, peaceful, and seriously magical.

Whether you’re with the family, your partner, or just craving a little riverside R&R, this is one of Myrtle Beach’s most unique and relaxing evening experiences.
