Although Myrtle Beach is on the coast, the sun sets inland, not over the water. A high spot with a clear view to the west works better than the beach.
Where to watch the sunset in Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach faces the Atlantic to the southeast, so the sun does not set over the ocean here: it goes down inland, behind the town. For open water to the west, people go to the Intracoastal Waterway, a few miles inland along the coast, such as the waterfront at Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach. From the beach itself, the sunset shows as color over the sea rather than the sun touching the horizon.
