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.
