You’re ready for springtime in Myrtle Beach.
As we wait out winter’s cold and dream of the beach, here’s a guide to get you going. Whether it’s your first jaunt or 100th to the Grand Strand, this can help. Spring will be sprung before you know it!
Tips for a Spring Getaway to the Beach
1. Plan Early
The best way to get the accommodations you want is to get started now. Whether it’s a solo getaway, couple’s retreat, or family vacation, you’ll want to find a resort that fits. Here are factors to consider when making reservations.
PROXIMITY. You’ll want a resort that’s close to the things you’ll want to do while you’re on the Grand Strand. Want easy beach access and great restaurants nearby? Consider a place such as Paradise Resort.
AMENITIES. There should be perks of staying in, too. Some resorts offer so much, it’s easy to spend a whole day on site. Would you like a spa day on your getaway? Consider a place such as Caribbean Resort.
CHOICES. Brittain Resorts has properties in Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle, and Litchfield. Choose the one that fits you best by visiting Brittain Resorts.
2. Pick Your Wardrobe
Temperatures climb into the 60s and 70s for highs in the spring, but the nights sometimes get chilly. You’ll want to pack your swim gear, but also hoodies and jeans for cool nights. And why not shop for clothes here?
FOR BEACH GEAR. For everything from bikinis to biker T-shirts, hit an area shop. You’ll find beach towels, swimsuits, hats, and more. Eagles Beachwear stores are everywhere.
