Myrtle Beachoceanfront retreat

If you’re looking for a way to shake up your trip to Myrtle Beach or simply try something new, schedule a stand-up paddleboard lesson or tour with the Carolina Paddle Co. Founder and guide Trent Ventura goes out of his way to make beginners feel comfortable on their boards. He believes anyone, young or old, can master the sport in only a few hours—without falling into the water. Sounds dubious, but in no time you’ll be gliding down the calm, scenic Intracoastal Waterway, surrounded by the beautiful flora and fauna of South Carolina. And by the end of the adventure, you may even be hooked on the trendy sport too.
