Best Times to Visit Myrtle Beach

The best time to visit Myrtle Beach is in the summer months from June to August.  They have the most activities, stores are all open, restaurants are booming and it’s prime weather. Average temperatures are in the 80’s.  If you’re looking for sun but with cooler weather, spring temperatures are from the high 60s to the 80s. Average fall and winter temperatures are from the lower 50s to the mid 30s plus there are far fewer crowds for the snowbirds to visit from the north.

March-May This season is pretty pleasant with warm temperatures and lower humidity. 

June-August The beach can get a bit crowded at this time of year, but this is the best time to experience a typical American-style vacation. The area has prime weather and the attractions are all open and ready for visitors. There’s also a big festival calendar this time of year.

September-October Temperatures dip a little, so the crowds thin out. But there are still a good amount of restaurant, festivals, shopping and activities to enjoy.

November-February This is the time some restaurants and shops have closed for the season but there is still many many places to eat.  Great time to enjoy eating with the locals.
