Myrtle Beach during Christmas

I know it will certainly depend on the weather but for those that frequent MB around Christmas do you find it more often than not good weather to hang out outside, walk or sit on the beach without being wrapped up in heavy jackets. Besides eating at restaurants what else is open that time of year. We always go during Spring Break and summer vacations. We would be going to Ocean Lakes if we go. tks
  • Really it is a******shoot. Most often it is warm enough to just wear sweat shirts.


    I live about 30 miles from there. The above statement is about as accurate as you can get.

    I've been snowed in, and in shorts, and everything in between.
  • Last year we stayed at Huntington Beach State Park over Christmas.The day we got there it was 80! But the rest of the week was in the low 60's.We enjoyed it.
  • Christmas is a great time to be in MB! Less people but the ones that are there are very friendly. The shows will put you in the spirit and the festive atmosphere and decorations at Barefoot and Broadway will keep you there. Calvin Gilmore has something special lined up for their Christmas Show at the Carolina Opry which he isn't sharing yet. Christmas in Myrtle Beach is totally different from visiting at any other time of year. We had Christmas Dinner at a Chinese restaurant one Christmas Day and that was quite memorable.

    That time of year is one of our fav times.

    That's been our experience also. I can count on one hand the number of days that I can't wear shorts but often need a light jacket in January along the ocean.
  • I get out MI for the last 2 weeks of the year. Myrtle Beach has ben the destination for about 15 years. Had snow on Christmas a few years back which was really weird looking. Had Ice storm about 10 years back. Most of the time I would guess the average daytime high is low to mid 60's. Down to low to mid 40's at night. Never know the prevailing weather pattern but last year was great with only 1 rain day and most days sunny and upper 60's - low 70's. Check some of the weather site for more information. Nice enough to walk the beach most days and go shopping or to a show if weather isn't great. Indoor pool at Ocean Lakes so another thing to do. Randu
