Highlights of Springmaid Beach Resort

Published by under Resort News

Staying at Springmaid Beach Resort in Myrtle Beach is like a vacation in and of itself. With all of the fantastic amenities that Springmaid Beach Resort offers, it’s not hard to see why Springmaid is considered to be one of the top family hotels in Myrtle Beach. Since Springmaid Beach Resort in Myrtle Beach is so much fun for families, we decided to put together a list to highlight the most popular aspects of Springmaid Beach Resort!

Here they are (in no particular order):

Springmaid Pier

At 1060 feet, the Springmaid Pier is the longest over-water pier in Myrtle Beach. Fishermen enjoy casting into the Atlantic in hopes of catching the big one while sight-seers stroll down its 36 foot wide boardwalk, taking in the sights and sounds of the ocean. Springmaid Pier has been voted as the “Best of the Beach” by the Sun News for several years and with good reason. Springmaid Pier offers visitors many options for entertainment, including BARnacles Bar and Grille, an oceanfront restaurant at Springmaid Pier that serves casual beach food as well as cocktails, ice cream, and smoothies. Fishermen who wish to cast from Springmaid Pier will enjoy the Tackle and Gift Shop. Here you can rent rods and buy bait in hopes of catching the next big tarpon or mackerel. The Springmaid Pier is a popular attraction for guests of all Myrtle Beach hotels, not just guests of Springmaid!

The Ocean

While this seems like a given, many Myrtle Beach hotels offer no beach access. Not only is Springmaid Beach Resort an oceanfront hotel, but it also offers guests a semi-private beach (one side is blocked off by the Springmaid Pier). Beach chair and umbrella rentals are available seasonally on the beach so that guests can take full advantage of the beautiful sandy beaches. In addition, there are plenty of companies in Myrtle Beach that offer vacationers parasailing and windsurfing excursions.

Arcade and Miniature Golf Course

Not many Myrtle Beach hotels offer this type of family fun!

After spending a day collecting tickets at the arcade, cash them in at the prize counter to receive items such as toys and candy!

After having fun at the arcade at Springmaid, check out our eighteen-hole miniature golf course next to the Guest Check-In building. The mini-golf course is designed for golfers of all ages and features a seaside villiage theme.

Springmaid Pools

Sure, a lot of Myrtle Beach hotels have pools. Springmaid has eight water fixtrues for guests to enjoy, including:

  • In the the Live Oak tower: Indoor heated pool, lazy river, kiddie pool

Springmaid Pier is a Myrtle Beach Favorite

Published by under Myrtle Beach

Springmaid Beach Resort is one of the most popular hotels in Myrtle Beach for a variety of reasons, one of which is the Springmaid Pier. As the longest pier in Myrtle Beach, it’s no surprise that it has been voted as “Best Pier of the Beach” for several years. Springmaid Beach Resort’s pier is 1060 feet long and 36 feet wide, leading to a “T” at the end that measures 110 feet wide.

Springmaid Pier is home to many Myrtle Beach fishing tournaments throughout the year. Avid and amateur fishermen alike enjoy casting from its planks in hopes of catching a record-breaking tarpon (Springmaid Pier currently holds the state record for the largest caught Spanish Mackerel). In fact, the largest tarpon caught from the Springmaid Pier weighed in at 125 pounds!

The Resort Tackle and Gift Shop on the Springmaid Pier is a great asset for fishermen and non-fishermen alike. Amateur anglers can receive pointers from experienced fishermen and can also rent rods and purchase bait to try their hand at catching the big one. The Resort Tackle and Gift Shop also carries a small selection of food and beverages as well as health and beauty products. You can also purchase souvinear hats and t-shirts at the Springmaid Beach Resort pier.

If you’re not a fisherman, take a leisurely stroll down the pier and enjoy the beautiful Myrtle Beach scenery and the sound of the waves rolling in. When you’re finished walking and are ready for a hot meal and a cold beverage, make your way over to BARnacles Bar and Grille, a Springmaid Beach Resort oceanfront restaurant that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. Guests can enjoy cold cocktails, hand-dipped ice cream, and other casual beach fare.

Guests love Springmaid Beach Resort for many reasons, but one of the top reasons is because Springmaid offers gracious amenities for the entire family. Springmaid Beach Resort is consistently regarded as one of the besst overall family resorts in Myrtle Beach and its famous pier has a lot to do with that reputation. Come experience it for yourself!

Introducing Don Singletary – Our New General Manager!

We’re excited to introduce you to our new General Manager, Don Singletary.  He took the helm leading Springmaid Beach Resort just last week.  Don’s happy to be here and notes, “My career has taken me to many exciting beach destinations in the South East; and more than anything, I’m so pleased to return to Myrtle Beach.  It feels like I’ve come home, and Springmaid Beach Resort is a terrific opportunity – a beautiful, oceanfront resort property with a great staff!”

In fact, it is a homecoming of sorts as Don’s early years included summers spent in Myrtle Beach – then a sleepy beach town – enjoying the beautiful beaches and lots of fishing.   Beginning in high school, Don started working as a Bell Boy at Holiday Inn.  Starting from these humble beginnings and following a degree from USC in Columbia, his career included work throughout all areas of hotel operations, including food & beverage, front desk operations, sales and marketing.  From Myrtle Beach, Columbia,  Charlotte and Charleston in the Carolinas to Virginia and Key West, Don has always enjoyed working in a Destination market the most.  His experience and leadership with such notable brands as Holiday Inn, Marriott and Hilton Hotels, will be a wonderful asset to Springmaid Beach Resort.  Don, we’re happy to have you on the team!
