The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive early for orientation

Plan to be at the meeting point 15–20 minutes before departure to complete waivers and get fitted for a helmet and Segway.

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes

Sand and coquina can shift underfoot during mounting and dismounting; sneakers with good grip make transitions smoother.

Bring sun protection and water

The coastal plain offers little shade on open stretches—sunscreen, a hat, and a small water bottle keep you comfortable.

Follow guide speed cues

Guides adjust pace for group comfort and surface changes—obeying instructions keeps the ride safe and fun for everyone.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short spur trails where coquina shell beds are exposed—good for quick photo stops
  • Park picnic shelters near the dog parks, offering a quieter viewpoint away from main loops

Wildlife

  • Great blue heron
  • White-tailed deer

Conservation Note

Stick to designated trails to protect shell beds and dune-adjacent habitats; the park manages heavy use through designated picnic and dog areas to limit impact.

The North Myrtle Beach Sports Complex was developed as a regional recreation hub on the coastal plain; trails cross land that historically provided early beach access and local leisure spaces.
