The Best Time to Go to Central Myrtle Beach


It may come as no surprise that summer is the best time to visit Central Myrtle Beach according to many. But we believe spring, fall, and winter are also fantastic times to visit our family-friendly beach destination and stay in our one-of-a-kind Myrtle Beach accommodations!



Find out what makes each time of year so unique to help you plan your next beach vacation!



 



Why Spring (March-May) is the best time to visit Central Myrtle Beach



Spring vacation perks: Temperatures reach the low 80s, making for excellent beach weather. Plus, Central Myrtle Beach resort rates are typically lower in the spring than the summer months. And while many Myrtle Beach attractions are open year-round, those that are not open year-round typically reopen in the spring for the new vacation season.

Myrtle Beach Boardwalk



Spring may be the best time to take in the sights and sounds of the oceanfront from the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. There’s more space for social distancing and the pleasant spring temperatures make an oceanfront stroll a breeze to enjoy.
