Vacationing in Myrtle Beach in the Winter



The great thing about living and vacationing on the coast of South Carolina is that the weather stays relatively warm all year long, even during the winter months. So summer sometimes feels like it lasts the whole year long!

There are plenty more perks to vacationing in the off season than just the weather. Here are some of our favorites:

It’s Cheaper

During the summer, you’re competing against a very large number of people trying to get into a finite number of vacation homes, driving prices up. Meaning, you have to sacrifice some amenities in the name of staying in budget. In the off-season, it’s easier to get into the perfect beach rental without having to pay beach season prices, as rental companies are trying to entice more people to stay in the cooler months.

It’s Less Crowded

No longer will you have to fight your way across a crowded beach ful of towels, umbrellas, and sunbathers. You’ll feel like you’re vacationing on a private beach! So feel free to spread out.

Enjoy Holiday Events

Myrtle Beach is absolutely breathtaking in the winter months. You can attend festive events like Nights of a Thousand Candles, Beach Ball Classic, Shadrack’s Christmas Wonderland, South’s Grandest Christmas Show, Broadway at the Beach Christmas Parade (just to name a few) that you won’t be able to find anywhere else!
