A horse ride along the surf is a nearly iconic image of South Carolina, combining two of the state’s chief pursuits: equestrian sports and hanging out on the beach. A great way to enjoy a horseback ride along the Grand Strand without having to bring your own equine is to check out Horseback Riding of Myrtle Beach (843/294-1712, www.myrtlebeachhorserides.com). They offer a variety of group rides, each with a guide, going to nature preserve and/or beach locales. While they’ll take you out any day of the week, advance reservations are required. Ninety minutes on a nature preserve cost $50 a person, while a 90-minute ride on the beach is $75.
You can go horseback riding on Myrtle Beach from the third Saturday in November until the end of February, with these conditions: You must access the beach from Myrtle Beach State Park, you cannot ride over sand dunes in any way, and you must clean up after your horse.
