Why you should go: Called the “grandest attraction in the Grand Strand,” the SkyWheel is a two-hundred-foot observation wheel (think epic ferris wheel) overlooking the glittering Atlantic and the bright lights of the Boardwalk. Settle in for four revolutions in a private gondola, and depending on your timing, book a special sunrise spin featuring coffee and pastries, or make it dinner and a sunset show with the Fly & Dine package, which comes with a $25 voucher to LandShark Bar & Grill.
