How to Spend Fall in Myrtle Beach

With its scenic coastline, perfect weather, and range of family-friendly activities to try, there is no better time to visit Myrtle Beach than the fall! Whether you’re flying solo or traveling with family and friends, the South Carolina Coast has more than plenty to offer its visitors during the months of September, October, and November. Take a fishing trip off the coast, see dolphins aboard an unforgettable Myrtle Beach cruise, go to a local festival, or experience the area’s pristine natural beauty… There are truly endless possibilities! Here’s how to spend your time in Myrtle Beach this autumn season:

Try a Beginner Fishing Cruise

It’s perhaps one of South Carolina’s best-kept secrets that fishing in the fall is an excellent choice for beginner anglers! The season brings cooler temperatures while the waters are still warm, plus fewer crowds, making for ideal fishing conditions. At Crazy Sister Marina, we offer great beginner-friendly headboat fishing cruises perfect for all ages. Each cruise takes place on a United States Coast Guard-certified and Inspected Vessel manned by an expert captain and crew. Each fishing trip also includes all the necessary gear, like a rod and reel, tackle, bait, and a fishing license. We make it easy! Treat yourself and your family to a fun fishing trip for the kids, like our half-day shark fishing trip or all-ages fishing cruise in Myrtle Beach, and experience the South Carolina Coast’s most beloved pastime together!

Enjoy a Fun Fall Festival or Event

Looking for a unique way to celebrate the fall season? Lucky for you, Myrtle Beach has its fair share of special events and fall festivities! 

• • Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon: Get started earlier on your New Year’s Resolution and sign up for the Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon, held every October!

Enjoy relaxing in the sun, sip on some refreshing drinks, read your favorite book, and unwind on one of the Grand Strand’s most pristine beaches.
