Towering 200 feet (61 meters) above the sea in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the SkyWheel is a modern take on the traditional Ferris wheel. This attraction features enclosed, air-conditioned gondolas with bench seats that lift visitors above the oceanfront promenade, offering panoramic views of the piers, ocean, and downtown. After twilight, the SkyWheel transforms into a dazzling display, illuminated by one million tiny LED lights that create a vibrant rainbow of colors. Visitors can enjoy a serene and scenic ride, perfect for taking in the coastal landscape from a unique vantage point.
