The Ocean Lakes Experience

Book Your Stay 
What to Expect

A place where beach days stretch long, golf carts cruise the streets, and laughter carries through the warm ocean air. Ocean Lakes is more than a destination—it’s a vibrant coastal community designed for making memories, exploring together, and enjoying the simple joy of time well spent by the sea.

❋ The Ocean Lakes Waterpark

One of the most loved features of Ocean Lakes is its vibrant waterpark, included with your stay. From twisting slides and splash zones to the lazy river and large pool areas, it’s the perfect place for kids and adults alike to cool off and spend the day playing in the sun. It’s the kind of spot where afternoons fly by and families gather for hours of carefree fun.

❋ The Beach

Just steps beyond the community, you’ll find the wide sandy shoreline that makes Myrtle Beach so iconic. Early mornings bring peaceful walks and seashell hunting, while afternoons are perfect for swimming, building sandcastles, or simply relaxing under the sun. Whether you’re catching sunrise over the Atlantic or enjoying an evening stroll, the beach is always the heart of the Ocean Lakes experience.

❋ Golf Cart Living

One of the most charming traditions at Ocean Lakes is golf cart living. Guests cruise the neighborhood paths heading to the beach, grabbing snacks at Sandy Mart, or exploring the many activities throughout the community. It’s a relaxed, fun way to get around & quickly becomes part of the experience guests look forward to year after year.

❋ Activities for Everyone

Ocean Lakes is filled with activities designed for every age. Guests can enjoy basketball courts, playgrounds, bike rides, the recreation center, and the nature center, along with seasonal events and entertainment throughout the year. There’s always something happening, creating a lively atmosphere that makes the community feel like its own little beach town.
