Our Favorite Things about McLean Park in North Myrtle Beach

Spanning 10 acres in the heart of North Myrtle Beach, McLean Park is well known for its beauty and bountiful amenities! Here’s what you need to know before you head to the park.

McLean Park is known by both visitors and locals as the prettiest park in North Myrtle Beach!

Bring your camera and plan on spending a few hours unwinding in what is easily the most beautiful park in North Myrtle Beach. Inside the 10-acre park is a lake that takes up about two of those acres. With plenty of giant shade trees and lots of green grass, McLean Park is a great spot for family photos or to simply throw down a blanket and enjoy a quiet afternoon.

Kids agree that McLean Park is awesome.

McLean Park caters to both big kids and small ones with two different playgrounds. One playground is built specifically with kids ages 2-5 in mind; the other is kids ages 5-12. Let the kids run out some energy while you sit back and relax in the shade. Or, take them to see the lake and watch the geese! There’s a fantastic bike trail throughout the park as well, so if you have the room, toss the bikes in the car and enjoy a family bike ride around the park.

McLean Park has great amenities.

With a big parking lot, restroom facilities and giant shade structures, McLean Park is an ideal place to spend a few hours. Turn off the cell phones, step away from the mental work that is always with us and enjoy time with the little ones while they are still little.

No Matter What Park You Go To, Return Back to Your Home Base at Your Seaside Vacation Rental

There is nothing better after a long day in the sun than to return back to a home away from home! At Seaside Vacations, we know that truly relaxing on a getaway is something that’s almost impossible to do when your family is crammed into a tiny hotel room. Enjoy the space and amenities of one of our condos or homes. Many of them are steps away from the ocean and will be a part of your family’s memories forever.

Check out the rest of our properties and book today! We look forward to having you.
