As summer winds down, Myrtle Beach transforms into a coastal autumn paradise, offering visitors a unique blend of warm weather, exciting events, and seasonal charm. From classic outdoor fun to fall-themed excitement and local festivals, The Beach offers something for every family this season.
Visiting Myrtle Beach in late summer and early fall is great for a number of reasons. The weather is mild and comfortable—ideal for outdoor activities. Beaches and attractions are less crowded and accommodations are more affordable. Despite the changing season, a wide range of spectacular events and attractions continue to thrill visitors, just as they do in the hotter months.
Myrtle Beach's 60 miles of spectacular coastline is a must-visit even as the weather cools. With an average summer water temperature of 80 F that often extends into autumn, visitors can still enjoy swimming, parasailing, and sunbathing well into fall.
Autumn is also prime-time for fishing in Myrtle Beach. Whether you're interested in a family charter trip or prefer to cast a line from one of the area's piers, there's an option for every angler. The Grand Strand offers a rich variety of fishing grounds, from offshore big-game fishing to inland fresh water spots.
Golfing enthusiasts flock to Myrtle Beach in the fall to hit up the area’s more than 80 quality courses—many of which were designed by legends of the game. Myrtle Beach's reputation as the “Golf Capital of the World” is well-deserved, with a history that includes the inception of Sports Illustrated (the magazine was launched after a marketing conference at Pine Lakes, a legendary local golf club). For a different kind of golf experience, over 30 mini-golf courses offer a variety of themed adventures.
As the weather cools, local farmers markets become even more enjoyable to explore. The Waccamaw Market Cooperative is a network of farmers markets that run all the way through to the end of October, providing fresh produce, artisanal goods, and seasonal delights at spots along the Grand Strand.
Fall in Myrtle Beach is festival season. This year, there’s no shortage of ways to have fun with a variety of events to celebrate the area's culture and cuisine. Here’s a sampling of can’t-miss events:
