Eco-Friendly Travel Tips for a Sustainable Coastal Vacation

Enjoy Myrtle Beach While Protecting the Shore You Love

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

Our vacation rentals are thoughtfully designed with the environment in mind. Many of our properties feature:

  • Energy-efficient appliances

  • Water-saving fixtures

  • LED lighting

  • Recycling and compost options

🧭 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.


🌴 Leave Only Footprints

A sustainable vacation doesn't mean giving up the comforts of your trip—it means making thoughtful choices that help keep Myrtle Beach beautiful for future generations. At Coastal Properties, we’re proud to offer eco-friendly stays that align with your values.
