Getaway to Myrtle Beach this Labor Day Weekend

Are you looking to sneak away to the beach this Labor Day weekend? If the answer is yes, allow us to share a few things you can do in the area. Staying with us in our Myrtle Beach vacation rentals will keep you and your family close to the action. Let’s peek at what you and your family can do this Labor Day weekend on the Grand Strand.

Waterpark Days

One of the best things about taking a getaway to Myrtle Beach during the first weekend of September is the waterparks. The temps for the area are still in the 90’s, and it’s a great way that your family can connect. Head on over to Myrtle Waves, Wild Water & Waves, or Splashes Waterpark for the day. There is something for everyone in the family to get to do and enjoy, including a relaxing lazy river. Don’t end summer without heading to a waterpark in the Myrtle Beach area this Labor Day weekend.

It’s Show Time

If you’re looking for something a little different to do with the family, we might suggest seeing a show. Some great shows are happening this weekend on the Grand Strand. Head over to Alabama Theatre to see “The One” Show or one of the shows at The Carolina Opry. If you’re looking for something to do that includes dinner, we suggest either Pirates Voyage (located right next to The Carolina Opry) or Medieval Times. No matter what show you decide on, the family will surely enjoy your trip to the area.

Beach Day

Another great option you and your family can do this Labor Day weekend is to spend your time on the beach. Bring your umbrella, beach chairs, towels, coolers, book, sunglasses, and more, and relax for a bit. Let the kids play in the sand together making sandcastles or letting them find the biggest shell to take home. If you want to let them bring home a little sand from the beach to remember their trip, then be sure to pack a small jar or a Ziplock bag before you leave home. Think of all the new memories you can make while relaxing and enjoy your time in the sun.

There are many other fun things that you can do this Labor Day weekend, but we wanted to share these with you. Staying in one of our Myrtle Beach vacation rentals will allow your family to make new memories. We hope to see you and your family this Labor Day weekend as you relax and enjoy your time at the beach!

Get the whole family involved in cooking Thanksgiving dinner or go eat dinner at a local restaurant instead.

Great Fall Weather

While many other states may be experiencing winter-like temperatures during the month of November, the weather around Myrtle Beach is quite pleasant. With the highs normally in the high 60’s, who wouldn’t want to spend the holidays there? While the weather isn’t as warm as the summer time, it sure makes for a wonderful day to spend it on the beach with the family. Let the kids build sandcastles during the day, spend the evening collecting seashells together or fly a kite as a family. Make it a Thanksgiving vacation for everyone to remember for years to come.

Holiday Shopping

Purchasing something from one of the local shops can make the best gifts to give. Don’t miss out on any of the deals this year while you shop for those Christmas lists.

Amazing Shows

While spending the day at the beach can be just as fun for everyone, why not take advantage of the holiday shows that begin in the month of November. If you are looking for some great shows to go see while you are in town, we know of some that you must go see.

There are many other reasons why you should spend your Thanksgiving here in North Myrtle Beach, but these are a few we thought you’d enjoy.
