“We believe Myrtle Beach is the best beach and vacation destination in the world for our military retirees’ annual golf tournament and they agree as evidenced by their willingness to travel from all across the country (and a few from outside our country) to join their fellow patriots for 42 years running. We plan to continue for many more years right here in Myrtle Beach, thanks to the amazing support we get from Myrtle Beach and its patriotic residents!”

“My wife and I have been the Annual Reunion Planners for 23 years for my fi rst ship in the Navy 54 years ago. We do reunions all over the country at different locations each year and always go into each one through the CVB with RFP in hand! A few have been marginally helpful, some better than others and a couple very good. Myrtle Beach and their CVB is Fantastic! They stand out above the rest! In Navy vernacular... BRAVO ZULU!!”

“The Ripcord Association held their annual reunion in Myrtle Beach. We had close to 100 Vietnam veterans that were in The Battle for Firebase Ripcord. Mostly all of them came with their spouses, children and even grandchildren which put over the 200 in attendance. They all had a great time exploring the activities in Myrtle Beach. So much that they requested to come back next year and are looking forward to making Myrtle Beach the annual place to hold our reunion every year. The support we received from the Chamber of Commerce/Convention and Visitors Bureau and local business, restaurants, and theaters was outstanding.”

Spring and fall are especially popular for military reunions, alumni groups, church organizations, and social clubs. Temperatures are comfortable, golf courses are in peak condition, and attractions remain fully operational while crowds are generally lighter than the peak summer season.

Summer remains the top choice for family reunions, particularly when beach time is a priority. Families often build their itinerary around oceanfront activities, fireworks, waterparks, and attractions like Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing, creating opportunities for relatives of all ages to spend time together.
