But not everyone knows that Myrtle Beach is great for year-round vacations–even in the winter! Many vacationers year after year have discovered winter vacations in Myrtle Beach. After you read our top 7 reasons to visit Myrtle Beach in the winter, we think you’ll agree!
5. Off-Season Discounts
Business owners in Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand appreciate every customer that comes through the door, and that’s even more true during the winter. Discounted prices and services are easy to find during the off-season, and less-crowded shops and restaurants means a calmer, easier vacation atmosphere. You can also find good good deals on Myrtle Beach winter rentals, with prices AMAZINGLY low.
4. Christmas Shows
The show never stops here! The holiday atmosphere at the beach is not to be missed. Visitors can find Halloween-themed celebrations at McLean Park and Broadway at the Beach. Christmas programs start on November 1st so everyone can be a part of the celebration. Shows like Le Grande Cirque, Alabama Theatre, Dixie Stampede, and the Carolina Opry put on fantastic Christmas shows for the whole family. And you can stay to ring in the new year at Broadway at the Beach! And if you are staying in an oceanfront condo in Myrtle Beach, especially during the winter, you can get to any of these shows within minutes!
3. Mild Weather
Why not escape the snowdrifts for a vacation where even the lowest temperature rarely drops below freezing? When winter everywhere else is cold and dreary, Myrtle Beach enjoys mild weather and moderate temperatures all winter long. The ocean waters are warmer on average than most places, too–in October, the water is still 72 degrees and even in December the water temperature doesn’t drop below 50 degrees. The best vacations are ones which provide a change of pace from everyday life, so what could be better than leaving the coat and mittens at home for a relaxing stay at the beach?
2. Less Crowded
The usual tradeoffs of going on a summer vacation–heavy traffic, long lines, and time spent in restaurant waiting areas–virtually disappear during the winter months. Enjoy an unhurried, quieter vacation with an emptier beach, lower traffic, and shorter lines.
1. Great Discounts on Rental Rates
Everyone’s looking for the smartest way to spend their money, and nothing is better than a steep discount for the same great vacation. Rates for Myrtle Beach winter condos are often up to 50% off the regular high season rate. That could translate to thousands of dollars in savings for the very same oceanfront condo and fun attractions. With that difference in price, a vacationer could stay twice as long for the same amount of money or have more cash to enjoy the best of Myrtle Beach and still have a lot left over!
Summer vacations in Myrtle Beach are always a family favorite, but with shorter lines, mild winter weather, and huge discounts, winters in Myrtle Beach are sure to become a new favorite!
