Myrtle Beach Casino Cruises. SC

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is known for its golf courses. It is also a fabulous summer vacation destination, with its free beaches and nearby amusement parks and Boardwalk-like downtown.Vacationers can now add another dimension to their Myrtle Beach trip – a casino cruise. Land-based casinos are illegal in South Carolina. In fact, the state has very strict gambling laws. Even the casino cruise boats have had some trouble having legislation approved for docking purposes.

But, as in the case of the Florida casino cruises, once the South Carolina cruises reach international waters, gambling is legal.

There are two casino cruises based in Myrtle Beach.
