  Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, may just be the water park capital of the U.S., considering the fact that many of its hotels feature on-site water parks, lazy rivers and all manner of splashing fun, for both kids and adults. Some hotels take the water park experience a step further, offering parks that are partly indoors or enclosed during inclement weather.

  This huge resort includes both the oceanfront Breakers Resort and the Breakers Paradise Tower next door, part of a largely pedestrian area with shops, parks and restaurants. The Breakers offers travelers one-, two- and three-bedroom condominiums, along with standard guest rooms. A special feature of the Breakers is that its water park, which consists of a 418-foot lazy river, several different pools, and whirlpools, is enclosed during the cooler months so that it can be used year-round. Kids will love the resort's interactive pirate ship water play area while their parents sun themselves on the outdoor resort deck. The Breakers has 700 feet of oceanfront property.
