The summer might be coming to an end, but fun in the sun in Myrtle Beach doesn’t have to.
September is a fine time of year for a Myrtle Beach excursion. Temperatures are still warm enough to enjoy outdoor activities but cool off well at night for comfort.
For those with the flexibility to take a vacation after prime tourism season, even for a weekend jaunt, Myrtle Beach has plenty to offer. Things don’t shut down here for winter. With events planned throughout the month and into winter, there’s always something to do.
We’d like to tell you about some of our favorite September happenings in Myrtle Beach. For music fans to automobile enthusiasts to the motorcycle-riding visitor, the calendar this month is packed with fun. A getaway for early fall can include plans to attend one of these events, with time to relax and unwind.
Why is September so great in Myrtle Beach?
The pace slows a little after the summer, but the adventures are in full swing. There’s a little more room on the beach, a little bit of a shorter wait to get into your favorite restaurants and attractions. You might find a few deals when you travel on the tail end of the tourism season.
