Getting around Myrtle Beach from Dunes Village Resort
Dunes Village Resort sits directly on the Myrtle Beach shoreline, so most guests walk to the sand in a minute or two and use the resort’s complimentary parking and included water-park access while on site. For trips farther afield, Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) is a short drive and public transit (Coast RTA) and a summer entertainment shuttle serve the Myrtle Beach area.
