The Art of Smart Timing
The best time for families to visit Myrtle Beach is during the summer months. With school out and much time to spare families can enjoy all that Myrtle Beach has to offer.

Many of the attractions in the Myrtle Beach area close until Memorial Day, when family travel rises again.
