As the coldest months of winter come upon us, travelers may want to consider a trip to the beach. This is not a typo; a trip to the beach is very feasible during the winter months, and it doesn’t need to involve Florida or the Caribbean islands.

Myrtle Beach in South Carolina is one such destination where there are still many things to see and do during wintertime. While most beach towns shut down for the season and become something close to ghost towns, Myrtle Beach continues to offer travelers varied experiences without the more expensive winter rates that can be found farther south.
