I was wondering if there was a list anywhere of which resorts had walk-up access to the Beach (swimmable ones)?

Leaning towards the Myrtle Beach area, but opened to the other SC areas.

Thanks much!

Are you looking on renting or exchanging? RCI or II?

Hilton Head Island has several resorts that are a five minute walk from the beach.

I would add most of the resorts on Port Royal Plantation, Shipyard Plantation and Sea Pines Plantation. I could walk to the beach under ten minutes or less.

These are some resorts at Myrtle Beach I could walk to the beach under ten (10) minutes or less. Shore Crest Vacation Villas I & II; Fairfield Seawatch & Fairfield Westwinds; Westgate Myrtle Beach; and Marriott's Oceanwatch Villas

In Hilton Head, the following resorts have on-property beach access where the resort itself fronts the beach. Not every building in each property is ocean front, but you can walk to the beach without leaving the resort grounds:

Marriott's Grande Ocean (II)
Marriott's Barony Beach Club (II)
Marriott's SurfWatch (II)
Marriott's Monarch (II and limited inventory in RCI)
Seawatch at Island Club (II and RCI)
Ocean View at Island Club/Island Club IV (II and RCI)

In the Myrtle Beach area, trading via RCI, with part of the resort directly on the beach or directly across the street (couple minutes walk):

Wyndham Ocean Blvd
Wyndham SeaWatch
Wyndham Westwinds
Wyndham Towers on the Grove
Shorecrest Villas I&II

I believe there's a Peppertree but not sure. There are also some smaller, older resorts on the beach around there, which you can see if you look at the RCI Resort Directory online, because the photos of the resorts show the ocean. All of the Myrtle Beach area coastline (the Grand Strand) is "sand and swim" beachfront.

Thanks for all your help. I would be trading into RCI, but I'm trying to buy into Wyndham Access as well.

I liked Edisto but I was there prior to swim season (Easter) and I can't say if it is swimmable. It is a very laid back anti-myrtle beach kind of a place.

Hilton Head is going to have calmer water than Myrtle beach.

Suggestion only to the OP, please go to the RCI web site and just look at all the resorts in Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head that have ocean view..

Good Luck
