At Coastal Properties, we believe that a memorable beach vacation shouldn't come at the expense of the environment. As more travelers seek out meaningful and mindful experiences, sustainable travel is no longer just a trend—it's a responsibility. Whether you're booking a weekend escape or a longer stay in Myrtle Beach, small eco-conscious choices can make a big impact.
Here are our top eco-friendly travel tips to help you enjoy a sustainable coastal vacation—without sacrificing fun, comfort, or relaxation.
🌿 1. Choose Eco-Conscious Accommodations

🧭 Tip: Book direct with Coastal Properties to reduce third-party emissions related to unnecessary service fees and extra paper communications.
🚲 2. Ditch the Car When You Can
Myrtle Beach is a walkable, bike-friendly destination—especially near our properties. Many attractions, restaurants, and beach accesses are within biking or walking distance.
Bonus: Less driving = less traffic and more time enjoying the view.
🌊 3. Be a Responsible Beachgoer
Help us protect our beautiful shoreline:
-
Don’t leave anything behind—pack out all trash
-
Skip plastic bags and bring a reusable tote
-
Avoid stepping on dunes and fragile habitats
-
Use reef-safe sunscreen to protect marine life
🐢 Did you know? Sea turtle nesting season runs May through October. Respecting marked nests helps their survival.
💧 4. Conserve Resources in Your Rental
Small changes make a big difference:
-
Turn off lights and electronics when not in use
-
Limit water use—shorter showers, full laundry loads
-
Use a refillable water bottle and reduce single-use plastic
🛍️ 5. Support Local & Sustainable Businesses
Choose restaurants that source local seafood and shops that offer handmade, eco-friendly products. Supporting small businesses reduces your carbon footprint and strengthens the local economy.
🌎 6. Offset Your Travel Footprint
If you're flying or driving long distances, consider using a carbon offset service. These programs support environmental projects that help neutralize your travel emissions.
