Things to do in Myrtle Beach in November 2023

By Samantha Norton Thursday, September 14th, 2023

Contrary to what you might believe, November is a busy month for Myrtle Beach as far as activities go. As the daily temperatures become milder, fall festivals and holiday events ramp up along the Grand Strand.

When you’re staying at a Vacation Myrtle Beach resort you may look for things to keep yourself and the family occupied that don’t involve spending a whole day on the beach—though temperatures might be warm enough for you to do just that!

Here are some fun and enjoyable things to do in Myrtle Beach in November for 2023:

Brew at the Zoo | November 4, 2023 | Brookgreen Gardens

Brookgreen Gardens’ annual fall festival returns! This year’s Brew at the Zoo will offer a variety regional and national craft beers for tasting, live entertainment by the Paul Grimshaw Band, and plenty of food for purchase. The festival is held at the Lowcountry Zoo section of the gardens. General admission for this 21+ event is $50 per person for non-members and $25 per person for guests designated as drivers.
