Choosing Vacation Dates - Top 3 Tips![]() Try to avoid the busiest weeks![]() Avoiding the most crowded weeks may help you save time, money, and enjoy a more relaxing vacation. The busiest weeks center around holidays and events, like Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, the Harley Biker and Atlantic Beach Bike Festivals, and the Sun Fun Festival to name just a few. Check the local calendar of events as well as a list of the Myrtle Beach annual festivals to avoid the busiest weeks of the year. ![]() When planning your trip, try to avoid both the coldest and hottest months![]() Keep in mind that there are lots of activities along the Grand Strand, which has quickly become a year-round vacation spot, that your family or group can do during even the hottest and coldest times of the year. ![]() Check the current and upcoming weather before traveling![]() Once you've booked your vacation, keep in mind that there's always a chance that foul weather may try to wee-wee on your fun. Check the forecast for the chance of rain and thunderstorms. During rainy weather it's a pretty sure bet you'll be enjoying more indoor activities than swimming in the ocean, so pack accordingly. During hurricane season, always check the tropical update on television a week or more before your vacation. There are mandatory evacuations to the east of Highway 17 during a hurricane warning, so if you plan on staying in an oceanfront or oceanview condo or house close the beach, more than likely you'll be asked to leave during an impending hurricane strike. |
