The Myrtle Beach Area Welcomes International Travelers

Welcome to the International Travel Page!

The Myrtle Beach area is the jewel of South Carolina and is nestled along the mid-Atlantic region of the eastern United States. With 60 miles of beautiful beaches and an average year round temperature of 25° Celsius, the Myrtle Beach area is a great place to spend your next holiday in the United States.

American holidaymakers have long been very familiar with the delights of the Myrtle Beach area but can no longer keep the secret from international visitors who, in increasing numbers, are now finding this stretch of the South Carolina coast.

As a family destination the Myrtle Beach area can rival many Florida resorts, not only for its beaches and water sports, but also for the high standards of entertainment, food and shopping. The long hours of sunshine keep holidaymakers on the beach but after dark the Myrtle Beach area night life buzzes with restaurant conversation, dancing and shows. A major claim for the Myrtle Beach area is that it is safe and that is borne out by the numbers of retired people and families with children who flock here every year. Many return time and again.

Getting to the Myrtle Beach Area

Getting here is easier than ever via the Myrtle Beach International Airport. Myrtle Beach International Airport is well-equipped and accessible via a number of US east-coast gateway options – Toronto, Miami, Orlando, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Washington, DC and New York are among them – in order to connect you to an onward jet flight right into the heart of the holiday area.

What to Wear

Think light when holidaying in the Myrtle Beach area. Summer temperatures mean light clothing is all that is required while just a light jacket or sweater are adequate for the days or evenings in spring or autumn. Only slightly heavier clothes are needed for a winter visit.

Accommodations

International visitors who have visited Florida will find the hotel rates’ seasons reversed further up the coast in South Carolina. The winter is low season in the Myrtle Beach area with June to August designated as high season when accommodations rates are significantly higher.

A holiday stay in the Myrtle Beach area is as expensive as one wants it to be. Those on a low budget are as equally catered to in accommodation choices as those who seek deluxe services. Hotels range from budget, clean and comfortable to luxurious suites. Accommodation options for the holidaymaker seeking that little extra independence are picturesque campsites, apartments, houses and cottages to rent.
