The 2020-21 Myrtle Beach Winter Guide

By Megan Burke Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020

Myrtle Beach isn’t just for summer vacations. The winter months offer a unique spin on your typical Myrtle Beach getaway.

“Snowbirds”, or winter travelers, flock to Myrtle Beach during the off-season to take advantage of the crowd-free beaches, which are still pleasant to walk during the day, winter-friendly things to do, and our rock bottom resort prices.

Planning a winter getaway to Myrtle Beach?

Get the in’s and out’s of what you can expect during a winter trip to the beach with our Myrtle Beach Winter Guide:

Myrtle Beach Winter Weather

Balmy temperatures make up Myrtle Beach’s weather during the winter (and fall) months. Temperatures typically stay on the mild side with average monthly temperatures of October, November, and December reaching the 70s.

Consistently colder days rarely arrive until January and last through March. Though it’s still not uncommon to enjoy temperatures in the 60s and 70s during these months.
