When temperatures drop where you live, what do you dream of?
We bet Myrtle Beach makes its way into those dreams. The Grand Strand is a fantastic place to escape the winter chill.
Whether you’re into shows, events, or relaxing, here are some ideas for that Christmas escape.
Tips for a Winter Beach Retreat
Surprise the family with a coastal getaway. The offseason is a wonderful time to visit the beach. Here are tips on how to do so.
- Make trash collecting a game. A walk on the shore can reveal lots of discarded items that might be harmful to wildlife. Bring a pair of gloves and a grocery bag, and see how fast your family can fill it.
- Bring warm clothes. Yes, the beach is sunny and warm in winter. And also yes: It’ll get chilly at night, and sometimes during the day. Pack socks, long-sleeved shirts, wool hats, and hoodies.
- Don’t forget sunglasses. Protect your eyes from UV light, even in the winter. Sunrays still pack a punch. Sidestep all the squinting, and protect your corneas, eyelids, and lenses from the sun.
Consider a Last-Minute Myrtle Beach Holiday Getaway
There’s a different technique to a cooler-weather escape to the Grand Strand. But lots of great things are in store for you.
Pick an Awesome Oceanfront Resort
Don’t let uncertainty creep into your mind. Resorts in Myrtle Beach are ready for all seasons. Although outdoor swimming might not be viable, many have indoor pools. Also, check for other amenities indoors that can entice you.
RECOMMENDED: Breakers Resort features The Cove Waterpark. It’s indoors and tons of fun for the whole family, especially the kids. Pack their suits!
