What’s the best time to visit Myrtle Beach?

Should I visit Myrtle Beach in October or will it be cold there by then? I never know what to expect in places that are further south than me, but I don’t want to drive all the way there and just sit inside all day!

The best time to visit Myrtle Beach,
South Carolina
is from June to August. This is the peak season for Myrtle Beach—and for a good reason. The ocean is warm, the weather is hot, and the conditions are often right for the perfect beach day.
However, you can definitely still have fun at Myrtle Beach in October! Although the weather may be slightly cooler than it would be at the height of summer, you’ll still enjoy an average temperature of about 77 degrees. You’ll also see fewer people at the beach during this time, meaning smaller crowds and fewer tourists.
If you drive to Myrtle Beach visiting later in the year can also be great for traffic reasons. You’ll avoid the tourist rush by visiting later than most tourists.
Even if you visit late in the year, it’s important to have the right car insurance coverage when traveling to a new or far-away place. Check out the
