Myrtle Beach: A Must-Visit Seaside Getaway for Summer 2025!
Hey there, beach lovers! If you’re dreaming of sun, sand, and fun, you’re going to want to pay attention because Myrtle Beach has just been named one of the top seaside destinations for summer 2025! With its stunning 10-mile stretch of beach, it’s easy to see why so many people flock to this gorgeous spot every year.
Why Myrtle Beach Stands Out
Compiled in a list that spans from Florida to Maine, Myrtle Beach stood out for its affordable vacation options, exciting activities, and, of course, its beautiful shores. What sets Myrtle Beach apart is its location at the center of the Grand Strand, which boasts a whopping 60 miles of pristine coastline. This coastal paradise draws millions of visitors eager to soak up the sun and enjoy everything the beach has to offer.
Your Safety is a Priority!
When visiting, you can feel safe knowing that Myrtle Beach has received accolades for its lifeguard protection and the consistent monitoring of water quality during the busy summer months. That means you can splash in the waves and lounge on the sand without a worry in the world!
Endless Fun Awaits
Besides its glorious beach, Myrtle Beach offers a plethora of activities to keep the whole family entertained. You can explore boardwalk shops, savor delicious meals at an array of local restaurants, tee off at beautiful golf courses, or take a ride on the iconic SkyWheel. Plus, there’s never a dull moment with seasonal events like dive-in movie nights and savory oyster roasts to enjoy!
Other Hot Destinations
While Myrtle Beach shines bright, it’s not the only destination garnering attention this summer. Close by, Folly Beach and Kiawah Island are also popular spots. Kiawah Island features its own 10-mile beach, plenty of bike trails, and even championship golf courses. Originally developed as a resort back in the 1970s, this serene island can swell from 2,000 residents to 10,000 visitors during the summertime, providing a vibrant community atmosphere.
A Nature-Loving Trend
Interestingly, the rankings also show a shift towards nature-centric vacations; eight out of the 15 spots listed are national parks! While Myrtle Beach is not a national park, it’s gaining praise for its charming warm summer weather that usually reaches highs in the 80s and 90s, making it an enticing option for travelers.
Family-Friendly For Everyone!
With ample outdoor activities, golf courses, and tasty dining options, Myrtle Beach truly shines as a family-friendly destination. In fact, it has landed among the top three domestic summer spots according to travel trends for 2025. Online searches even ranked it as the fifth most desired beach getaway for U.S. travelers, following closely behind the famous Outer Banks.
Incredible Deals Awaits
Budget-conscious travelers will be thrilled to hear about fantastic deals, such as a four-day, three-night stay at an oceanfront resort for just $99! Plus, there are plenty of inexpensive activities to enjoy, ranging from dolphin tours to visits to Ripley’s Aquarium—a perfect outing for families!
Dine Deliciously
No beach trip would be complete without sampling the amazing local cuisine! You can savor fresh seafood options like peel-and-eat shrimp, oysters, and delightful crab cakes at casual eateries that line the promenade.
From Beaches to BBC
And if you’re looking for other affordable beach options, don’t forget about Assateague Island in Maryland, known for its breathtaking natural beauty and outdoor adventures.
This summer, let the sun, sea, and adventure call you to Myrtle Beach—a true treasure on the East Coast! Whether you’re on a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or simply looking for an escape, there’s no shortage of fun awaiting you!
