Myrtle Beach At a Glance

Myrtle Beach is best for sunlovers from late May through the end of September. Golfers and fans of the growing night-life 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.

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.
