Best Time to Go
Myrtle Beach is best for sunlovers from late May through the end of September.
Golfers and fans of the growing night-light will find it perfect year-round.
Average Weather
July and August are the hottest months, with sea breezes making temperatures in
the 90s bearable. The climate is temperate year-round with only a few cold days
annually.
Transportation
Myrtle Beach Airport is served by the Myrtle Beach Express out of Newark and
frequent regularly scheduled flights on major airlines. Road-tripping is easy
with excellent connections off of Interstate 85. It's best to have a car when
visiting Myrtle Beach, as the Grand Strand isn't too convenient for walking.
In-Season Costs
Bargain-hunters can always find a room in the $60 range if they plan ahead
in-season. Many hotels offer golfing and entertainment packages that can shave
dollars off the total cost of a family vacation. The Cadillac Hotel offers a
"gold key" program with multiple discounts at area eateries and shops.
Restaurants in all prices ranges from five-dollar sandwich shops to blow-out
seafood feasts are easily accessible.
Day Trips
Check out Brookgreen Gardens on Hwy. 17, a sculpture garden like no other in
America. Stop by Murrell's Inlet for gulf stream fishing and other seafaring
excursions. Just outside of Mrytle Beach you'll find Waccamaw Outlet Center --
one of the largest outlet collections on the East Coast. If you must wander
farther afield, Myrtle Beach is a short drive from historic Georgetown, SC and
Charleston.
