Myrtle Beach Attractions Open in the Winter
While some may think that Myrtle Beach shuts down for the winter, this is not true. In fact, there are many Myrtle Beach attractions that remain open all winter as well as some special events that take place throughout the winter as well. Often these attractions are less crowded in the winter and of course, hotel room rates are much lower this time of year as well.
So why not take a weekend Myrtle Beach vacation?
