Myrtle Beach kayak rentals are available from many local touring and watersports companies, with pick-up locations convenient to most of the most popular kayaking destinations in the Grand Strand area.
Renting a kayak is a fun, flexibile way to explore the scenery and wildlife of the lowcountry landscape. There are a variety of beautiful kayaking spots within easy reach of Myrtle Beach, including the marshes and creeks of Murrells Inlet, the undeveloped islands near North Myrtle Beach, or the wildlife and river views of Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge.
Guided kayak tours are a safer option than a rental if you don’t have much kayaking experience or you are not familiar with the local area, particularly if you are hoping to paddle in more out-of-the-way areas. Currents, tides, weather and larger boats can all be hazardous to inexperienced kayakers.
Although the rental companies below are listed according to their bases of operation, some will be willing to deliver equipment to other locations in and near Myrtle Beach upon request (an additional fee may sometimes be charged). Inquire directly with the rental companies for details of their policies.
