The Art of Smart Timing
For families planning to visit Myrtle Beach, the summer months are the best time to vacation. With school out and much time to spare, families can enjoy all Myrtle Beach has to offer. After Labor Day, golfers flock to Myrtle Beach resorts in search for some of the best courses around.

After summer rates drop, in the early weeks of September, families can still enjoy the warm weather and beach activities. Some family attractions in the area close after Labor Day, such as the Family Kingdom Amusement Park and Water Park, but will reopen after Memorial Day when family travel picks up again.

Getting There
