Summer Activities

It’s summer in Conway, SC, which means one thing. It’s time to get yourselves out and about in the fresh air while enjoying some precious time with family and friends. Where can you go and what can you do, though? Fortunately, there are plenty of summer activities in the local area to choose from. Let’s take a look at some ideas.

The River Walk in Conway

Defeat challenging roads with ease on your journey to the river in your new 2023 Ford F-150 R. Thanks to its immensely powerful supercharged engine, you’ll quickly arrive at this tranquil beauty spot that is popular with tourists and locals alike. Located on 2nd Avenue, the two-mile walk takes you along the beautiful Waccamaw River, where you can relax in the sun while enjoying magnificent views of the local area.

Visitors can take advantage of activities like bird watching, fishing, swimming, and canoeing. You can eat in the picnic area or even at one of the restaurants dotted along the river. Children will enjoy the play area in particular, while any history buffs can join one of the educational programs that teach visitors about local history and culture. You can also visit the colorful wildflower meadow, where you’re sure to marvel at its natural beauty.

Myrtle Beach Sky Wheel

This epic attraction is situated at 1110 North Ocean Boulevard in downtown Conway. The Ferris wheel towers over the city, standing tall at a staggering 200 feet above the ground. From the top, spectacular views stretch for miles, even providing visitors with a view of the Atlantic Ocean on a clear day. Alternatively, a nighttime ride on the wheel provides a stunning view of the magical myriad of lights that illuminate the city below.

VIP tickets allow customers to skip the line and ride in an exclusive glass-bottomed gondola, while the 30-minute Rise and Flight experience begins at dawn and allows riders to see the beautiful sunrise. The thrilling ride “the Vortex” is on offer for any daredevils out there, as is the “Sky Drop,” where riders are sent plummeting down a terrifying 200-feet vertical drop.

The Conway Scenic Railroad

Situated at 38 Norcross Circle, this railroad begins in North Conway, ends in Crawford Notch, and offers amazing views of the White Mountain National Forest. Here, you can enjoy rail excursions or purchase an educational package where you will learn about the history and culture of the surrounding areas.

There are also bespoke trips like the Polar Express, the Fall Foliage, and the Mountain Explorer. On these excursions, the experience is tailored to mirror the current season, with the train’s interior decorated accordingly. Meanwhile, the unique Notch Train transports passengers on a winding journey through the serene and picturesque Crawford Notch State Park. This is sure to be an experience that you’ll never forget.

So, as we can see, there are some lovely things to do in Conway in summer. Relax among nature at the River Walk, experience the dazzling views from the top of Myrtle Beach Sky Wheel, or take a unique ride along the Conway scenic railroad. Then, take a detour via Conway Ford to take a look at the awesome range of cars that we have in stock.
