Myrtle Beach is known for miles of beautiful shoreline, family attractions, and a dining scene that can easily become one of the highlights of your vacation. But some days, the best restaurant is the one you can reach without ever getting in the car.
Choosing an oceanfront Myrtle Beach resort with onsite dining gives you more ways to enjoy your vacation on your schedule. Start with a hot breakfast before heading to the beach, grab lunch without abandoning your spot by the pool, pick up an afternoon coffee, or settle in for dinner after a full day in the sun.
Several MBResorts properties make dining especially convenient, offering everything from breakfast buffets and oceanfront restaurants to poolside bars, coffee shops, pizza, seafood, and casual family favorites. Here are five of the best oceanfront resorts in Myrtle Beach with onsite dining.
Compass Cove Oceanfront Resort
Breakfast starts at Compass Rose, where guests can enjoy a Southern-inspired breakfast buffet featuring favorites such as eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, French toast, biscuits, grits, fresh fruit, and cereal. It is an easy way for families to fuel up before heading to the beach or spending the morning around the resort’s extensive water amenities.
Coffee drinkers can stop at Compass Joe, while lunch and dinner are covered at Crow’s Nest Restaurant. The oceanfront restaurant and lounge serves seafood, sandwiches, burgers, tacos, and other casual favorites.
The Tiki Hut adds another casual option near the pool deck with grilled food and refreshing drinks, making it easy to grab something without interrupting a beach or pool day. Compass Cove officially lists Compass Rose, Crow’s Nest, Tiki Hut, and Compass Joe among its resort dining options.
Beyond the food, Compass Cove is packed with family-friendly amenities, including indoor and outdoor pools, lazy rivers, hot tubs, kiddie pools, waterslides, and direct beach access.
The Breakers Resort
The Breakers Resort is another strong choice for travelers seeking an oceanfront Myrtle Beach hotel with breakfast, on-site restaurants, and casual dining.
Start your day at Papa’s, where the resort offers a full breakfast buffet. With breakfast handled right on the property, families can eat before heading straight to the beach, pools, or The Cove indoor waterpark.
There is also an onsite Starbucks for coffee, pastries, and an easy pick-me-up during the day.
When everyone gets hungry around the pool, The Rusty Reel offers drinks and casual bites near the water. For dinner, Strong Waters Craft Cocktails & Kitchen offers guests a completely different dining experience without having to travel far from their accommodations. The restaurant pairs craft cocktails with Southern and coastal-inspired dishes, including smoked meats, seafood, and shareable appetizers.
Current Strong Waters menu options include the Low Country Dip and Strong Waters Shrimp & Grits, which combines blackened shrimp and gnocchi with an Asiago-andouille Cajun sauce. Either gives you something a little different from the typical beach-day meal.
Vacation also deserves dessert! Ben & Jerry’s is onsite when ice cream sounds good after dinner or an evening walk along the oceanfront.
Pair all of that with The Breakers’ extensive indoor and outdoor water amenities, direct beach access, games, fitness center, and central Myrtle Beach location, and it is easy to spend an entire day around the resort.
Caribbean Resort & Villas
For travelers who want an oceanfront Myrtle Beach resort near great seafood, Caribbean Resort & Villas has one major advantage: Sea Captain’s House is right next door.
Sea Captain’s House has been a Myrtle Beach dining tradition for decades, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner overlooking the Atlantic. Mornings include the popular breakfast buffet, where guests can enjoy classic breakfast favorites along with made-to-order eggs and omelets.
Later in the day, the menu shifts toward the coastal Southern dishes that have made the restaurant a longtime local favorite. The award-winning She-Crab Soup is one of its signature dishes, while Fresh Catch of the Day specials are another guest favorite to try on a first visit.
Caribbean Resort offers additional options when you want to keep things especially casual. Guests can find an Oceanfront Tiki Bar, Grab and Go, an oceanfront bar, Starbucks, and Ben & Jerry’s around the property.
That lineup gives families plenty of flexibility. You can enjoy an oceanfront breakfast, spend the day between the beach and the resort’s water amenities, grab something quick without leaving the property, then sit down for fresh seafood at night.
The resort also recently completed a $20+ million renovation and features extensive indoor and outdoor water amenities, an arcade, Mist Spa, an oceanfront fire pit, and direct beach access.
Monterey Bay Suites
Monterey Bay Suites takes a slightly different approach to Myrtle Beach resort dining, starting with one particularly valuable vacation perk: a complimentary hot breakfast is included with your stay.
Guests can start the morning with a hot breakfast before heading straight to the beach or settling in for a day around the pools. For families or groups traveling together, having breakfast included can make mornings much easier and add extra value to a longer Myrtle Beach vacation.
Later in the day, head to the Surf Shack Bar & Grill, located directly on the oceanfront pool deck. The casual menu includes hamburgers, wings, snacks, and other poolside favorites, but the drinks are part of the fun too. Cool off with a refreshing smoothie, or settle into vacation mode with one of the tropical cocktails served just steps from the pool and beach. With frozen drinks, fruity flavors, and nonalcoholic options available, it is an easy place for both kids and adults to find something refreshing between swims. Grab lunch, order a drink, and enjoy it poolside without having to interrupt your day by the water.
Monterey Bay also offers another advantage for travelers who like dining out: its north-end Myrtle Beach location puts several restaurants within walking distance of the resort. Guests can enjoy the convenience of eating onsite, then walk or make a very short trip to additional local restaurants when they want something different.
Dining convenience is paired with condo-style suites that include kitchens, plus indoor and outdoor pools, an indoor lazy river, hot tubs, and one of the Grand Strand’s distinctive rooftop pool decks. Breakfast is taken care of; your suite has a kitchen if you want to prepare something yourself; the Surf Shack covers casual poolside cravings; and additional Myrtle Beach restaurants are close by.
Grande Cayman Resort
Grande Cayman Resort rounds out the list with several convenient dining choices and a location on the quieter north end of Myrtle Beach.
Start the morning at Due South at 72nd, where guests can purchase the resort’s breakfast buffet offering before heading to the beach. Due South serves much more than breakfast. Its current menu concept focuses on italian food, including oven-fresh pizza, pasta, hoagies, house specialties, and desserts. That makes it useful for families who want an easy dinner without leaving the property.
Turtle Bay Café provides another casual resort option near the water, while the Oceanfront Tiki Bar is ideal when a beach vacation calls for a tropical drink. There is also an onsite Starbucks for coffee and pastries.
The resort itself gives families plenty of reasons to stay put between meals. Grande Cayman has indoor and outdoor water amenities, a lazy river, the Silly Submarine water area, a waterslide, direct beach access, and several accommodation styles for couples and families.
