Father's Day 2026 falls on June 21st, and what better way to honor Dad than with a sun-soaked getaway to South Carolina's Grand Strand? Whether your father is a golf enthusiast, an avid angler, or simply someone who deserves a relaxing beach vacation, Myrtle Beach delivers the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. At Ascent Cohosting, we've helped countless families create unforgettable Father's Day memories in our comfortable vacation rentals throughout Myrtle Beach.
A Father's Day Myrtle Beach 2026 celebration means trading the typical tie or gadget for quality time together—casting lines at sunrise, perfecting that golf swing, or watching dolphins play in the Atlantic surf. This guide will help you plan a dad's beach getaway South Carolina style, complete with activities he'll love, attractions the whole family can enjoy, and the ideal accommodations for your June escape.
Myrtle Beach is often called the "Golf Capital of the World," and for good reason. With over 80 golf courses stretching along the Grand Strand, Dad will be in absolute paradise. June offers ideal conditions—warm temperatures, long daylight hours, and courses in peak condition after spring maintenance.
Consider booking tee times at legendary courses like the Dunes Golf and Beach Club, TPC Myrtle Beach, or Caledonia Golf & Fish Club. Many courses offer Father's Day specials and tournament packages, making this the perfect opportunity to challenge Dad to 18 holes.
For accommodations that keep you close to the fairways while still enjoying beach access, explore our Myrtle Beach Airbnb rentals for a comfortable home base after a day on the links. Properties with full kitchens allow you to fuel up with a hearty breakfast before heading to the course.
Pro tip: Book tee times at least two weeks in advance for Father's Day weekend, as courses fill up quickly during this popular holiday.
Nothing says quality father-child bonding quite like a fishing trip. Myrtle Beach offers diverse fishing experiences that cater to every skill level and preference.
Deep Sea Fishing Charters
Head offshore for the chance to reel in mahi-mahi, wahoo, king mackerel, or even trophy-sized blue marlin. Half-day and full-day charters depart from marinas throughout the area, with experienced captains who know exactly where the fish are biting in June.
Inshore and Pier Fishing
For a more relaxed experience, try casting from the Myrtle Beach State Park Pier or the iconic Second Avenue Pier. June brings excellent catches of flounder, red drum, and speckled trout. It's a wonderful way to introduce younger family members to fishing while giving Dad his well-deserved time with a rod in hand.
Kayak Fishing
For the adventurous dad, kayak fishing through the coastal marshes offers an up-close encounter with nature. Paddle through tidal creeks, spot wildlife, and catch your dinner all in one unforgettable outing.

After a successful day on the water, return to a property like 3 Min Walk to Beach | Family Owned | 9 Palms where you can grill your catch and enjoy it just steps from the sand.
While Father's Day focuses on celebrating Dad, the best memories often come from experiences the whole family shares together. Myrtle Beach offers attractions that appeal to all ages—and that means Dad won't be standing around bored while the kids have all the fun.
SkyWheel Myrtle Beach
Treat Dad to panoramic ocean views from 200 feet in the air aboard the SkyWheel. This iconic Ferris wheel offers climate-controlled gondolas perfect for escaping the June heat while taking in breathtaking coastal vistas. Sunset rides are particularly spectacular and make for amazing family photos.

This 350-acre entertainment complex offers something for everyone in the family. Dad can challenge the kids to go-kart races, browse specialty shops, or enjoy waterfront dining at one of dozens of restaurants. The area comes alive in the evening with live entertainment, making it perfect for a Father's Day dinner celebration.
