Getting To and Around Myrtle Beach

2 Min Read

Flying is a very common way for visitors, both nationally and internationally, to arrive at Myrtle Beach. For those landing from another destination within the US, Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) – ranked fourth in the ‘Best Small Airport’ category by USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards – is just three miles south of the city. 

MYR is serviced by major airlines including Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Spirit Airlines, and United Airlines, amongst others. For international visitors, many find it easier to fly into a major city, such as Atlanta, before catching a connecting flight to Myrtle Beach. 

Once arrived, the best way to get around the area is via car if you are planning on venturing beyond your beachfront hotel. Rental agencies are situated near the baggage claim of MYR, or there is a plethora of taxis, rideshares, and hotel shuttle services within the terminal. 

Alternatively, the local bus service covers all of the city’s major areas with 80 buses on 22 routes, and fares are very affordable. However, the buses have a tendency to stop running relatively early in the evenings, meaning you’ll have to plan in advance for any late-night endeavours. 

There is no wrong time to visit Myrtle Beach, as every season has its own special offers to entice visitors with a memorable time. 

From June to August, the weather is just right for swimming, sunbathing, and cannonballing into any water-based fun. March through May tends to be the most popular time for spring breakers, meaning it will be crowded but full of adventure and laughter at every moment. Fall ushers in milder temperatures with ample sunshine, making it an ideal time of year for golf lovers. In the wintertime, there are unmissable events such as the Nights of a Thousand Candles, Broadway at the Beach’s Christmas parade, and Winter Wonderland at The Beach. 

No matter when you decide to visit Myrtle Beach, there will be joy, countless memories, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences that will make it a holiday you will reminisce on for years to come.
