SkyWheel Myrtle Beach
A seaside observation wheel about 57 m tall beside the boardwalk. Its fully enclosed, air-conditioned gondolas offer views over the Atlantic and the coastline.
The SkyWheel opened in 2011 and stands about 57 m tall, making it a landmark of the boardwalk. Each ride takes about three rotations and lasts 10 to 15 minutes. The gondolas are fully enclosed and air-conditioned, giving views of the endless beaches, hotels and sea, and the wheel is lit with a light show at night. A glass-floored VIP gondola is also available. Tickets start at about US$20. In peak season, the evening queues can be long, so buying tickets online is recommended.
