Getting Around

If you want to spend all day lounging on the beach, you can get around just fine by foot. But if you're planning on checking out areas a bit further away, you'll want to reserve a rental car for your trip to Myrtle Beach. There is also a local bus, the Coast RTA, and taxis available for those who wish to use them.

Best time to Visit

Since Myrtle Beach is famed for its beach (the clue's in the name) you'll want to plan your visit for a time of year when great beach weather is almost guaranteed. Fortunately, that takes in a lot of the year here in Myrtle Beach, where you'll get high levels of sun from March all the way through September. There is one fly in the ointment, though: There can be hurricanes between June and November, although they're far from a certainty.

What to Pack

This is a classic sun-soaked beach destination so you're going to need all the typical seaside essentials to get the absolute most out of it. We suggest you think about bringing:

  • A bucket and spade: If you have kids, that is. But maybe you want to make a sandcastle or two yourself?
  • Sunscreen and aloe vera gel: Sunburn happens fast in this summery place, so stay safe, and have your back-up plan (that's the aloe vera) to hand in case things go wrong.
  • Sunglasses: You won't get far in Myrtle Beach without sunglasses. These will be daily wear, so bring several pairs and rotate them for variety.
