Picnic Facilities
There are many group and family picnic areas in Myrtle Beach State Park. All of them though are concentrated in a few areas. The first place is off of the main park road between the main park office and where the parking lot opens up the beach and pier. Picnic areas are found to the left as you come into the park, on the north side of the road. There are a few group picnic pavilions here and a few scattered individual tables.
The seven group shelters can be reserved for a fee ($25 - $38 plus taxes and fees). This does not include park admission fees. Unreserved shelters can be used for no charge on a first come, first served basis.
Picnic shelters can be reserved online or by calling the state wide park reservation line 1-866-345-7275. You can see a list of available shelters, with pictures and details, at this official state park webpage.
