Area Info 
Attractions September is one of my favorite months in Myrtle Beach. The summer crowds have packed up, kids are back in school, and most of the oppressive summer heat has been replaced with more tolerable temperatures, while the ocean water still remains relatively warm. If you have the opportunity, this month between the seasons is a great chance to soak up the best of the Grand Strand without the summer crowds. There also happens to be an abundance of awesome things happening. Here are my “top 5” for September:
September 1-22
