Visiting Myrtle Beach in January?! What?! While a trip to the beach during a winter month may seem undesirable to some, the January weather in Myrtle Beach actually makes it a great vacation destination. Since there is a lull in tourists, you’ll find fewer crowds at your resort and at area events, shows, and attractions, plus the mild temperatures in South Carolina offer a wonderful escape from winter. If you’re undecided, take a look at this list of 5 reasons to visit Myrtle Beach in January:  Ring in the New Year Myrtle-Beach Style Make it to the beach in time to toast to 2023 at one of the many wonderful New Year’s Eve celebrations around town. Whether you’re looking for a kid-friendly evening, a romantic couples dinner, or a traditional party, Myrtle Beach offers many types of NYE events. The Grand Strand is known for its brilliant fireworks, too, so watch the night sky and welcome the New Year with a bang. If nightlife isn’t your thing, check out Ripley’s Aquarium in Myrtle Beach on January 1st to join in their Noon Years Day family-friendly party for kids.  Trade in the Cold for Mild Myrtle Beach Weather While the weather in Myrtle Beach in January isn’t necessarily ideal for beachgoers, it is mild and pleasant, especially for anyone traveling from a snowy location. The average air temperature in Myrtle Beach in January is about 55°F, so you can trade in your boots and heavy coat for tennis shoes and lighter layers while exploring all the Grand Strand has to offer. The ocean’s 50℉ is too chilly for a swim, but you can enjoy the beautiful view and stroll along the beach without worrying about frostbite. Get the Best Deals on Myrtle Beach Hotels in January January is when you’ll find some of the best Myrtle Beach hotel rates of the entire year. Since the holidays are over and many people aren’t traveling, getting a great deal on your favorite accommodations is easy. The average hotel rate for January is roughly half what you would normally spend during the summer months, and since visitors are sparse, it won’t be hard securing a room in an oceanfront suite, at a kid-friendly hotel, or in any of the boardwalk hotels right in the heart of it all. Find Many Fun Things To Do in Myrtle Beach Even though holiday celebrations in Myrtle Beach die down after the first week of the New Year, there are still plenty of fun things to do in the Grand Strand. The weather in January is just right for outdoor activities such as horseback riding, biking, hiking, visiting gardens, and fishing. There are always great events to take in, too! Following the Christmas season, area theaters have ended their holiday performances, so you can be first to catch brand new shows. Enjoy Off-Season Myrtle Beach Perks in January Once the holiday tourists disappear, you’ll notice one of the best perks of visiting Myrtle Beach in January: sparse crowds. You may even feel like you have the area all to yourself, yet there are still tons of attractions open and things to do at your hotel and around the Grand Strand. While at your resort, you won’t need to worry about long waits for elevators or a crowded pool deck or arcade. And when you venture out in January around Myrtle Beach, you’ll notice fewer lines at boardwalk attractions, no waiting at area restaurants, a selection of available tee times, and you can easily snag a fabulous seat at the show you’ve always wanted to see. Book your trip in Myrtle Beach this January to take advantage of off-season hotel deals and less-crowded attractions, restaurants, and shows. Arrive early to ring in the New Year in style at any of the area parties and stick around for lots of events and things to do.
