Spring | March, April, May

Many will say that spring is one of the most ideal times to visit Myrtle Beach. During this time of the year, the temperatures are ideal for beach weather and other outdoor activities.

By mid-April, the temperature in Myrtle Beach typically reaches average highs in the low 70s. By the end of May, it’s common to see highs in the low 80s. March, April, and May also typically see some of the least amount of rainfall.

During the spring, we suggest hitting the beach. But other popular activities you can enjoy include horseback riding with Inlet Point Plantation, kayaking with Glass Bottom Kayak Tours, and paddle boarding with Kokopelli Surf Camp. Events like the World Famous Blue Crab Festival and the Myrtle Beach Food Truck Festival are also typically held during this time of the year.

Summer | June, July, August

Summer is, unsurprisingly, the warmest time of the year in Myrtle Beach. Vacationers can expect average highs ranging from the low 80s to the high 80s from June to August, with temperatures typically peaking in July.

With great beach weather comes a little more rain, because of the high humidity and cool breezes rolling in from the ocean. Thankfully, these rain showers don’t last long, and are followed by gorgeous weather for the rest of the day. Even if you do get caught in a rare rainy day, there’s still plenty to do when it rains in Myrtle Beach.

Without a doubt, this time of year is feet in the sand and pool lounging weather. So it’s no surprise that visiting the beach is one of our top recommendations for relaxing and cooling down. But you should check out these top Myrtle Beach resort pools, too.

Fall | September, October, November

While the words “autumn” and “beaches” may not exactly sound like a match made in heaven, that’s not the case when it comes to Myrtle Beach! That’s why the fall is truly one of Myrtle Beach’s best-kept secrets.

The temperature this time of year is still perfect for enjoying the beach, with average highs ranging from the mid-to-low 80s in September and the low 70s in October.

Not only will you still be able to wear your favorite pair of flip-flops and swim trunks during early to mid-autumn, you’ll also enjoy outdoor shopping and dining, and many local festivals. All during a time of the year when most vacationers have already traveled back home.

Average highs range from the low 60s in December to the mid-50s in January. And snow on the Grand Strand is a rare occurrence. There have even been select days in the winter to jump into the 70s.
