Hi All
I am thinking of traveling to Myrtle Beach, SC in August. I have heard that there is a risk of hurricanes in August. Is this true? We have an opportunity to rent a 3 bdr condo for a very inexpensive price and are very interested in going. But am now worried that we'll get stuck in a hurricane.......has anyone travelled to SC in August. How is the weather?
Thanks in advance
Thank you everyone for your advice. We are definately going to go. Probably in June for various reasons but am looking forward to it.
Hi L. can you tell me how you were able to find the condo because my family is considering myrtle beach for the summer as well.
Hi L.,
Every other summer I take a trip to Myrtle beach with my daughter and we go the last two week in August and I have yet been stuck in a hurricane. The water is great and the beach is not too crowded. The amusement parks are still open and if you're in to golf that is the place for you.
I hope you get to enjoy your vacation.

I've been to North Carolina, the Outerbanks, in August and the weather was stellar!! I figure it should be the same for you in South Carolina.
Hi L.,
My family and I went to Myrtle Beach for our family reunion in August last year. We had a blast! It was very hot but since we were right on the beach we didn't care. There is also a amusement pier and tons of mini golf an aligator farm aquarium... But we never ao much as had a drizzle!
I say go, and have fun!
Hi L.,
Throughout the whole summer there is a chance of hurricanes in SC. I've been there in June when a hurricane hit the day before and in August when there was not one. Myrtle Beach is beautiful and if you have the chance to go I would. One thing you should watch out for are riptides which occur all the time.
I have family down there and go often do not worry. The only thing that may happen is a hurricane will come and you have to decide to go or not and often when that happens we go anyway and the storm goes past. No worries. B.
Hi
hurricane season starts in june and goes until I believe October. I have a second home there and have spent a few summers there, and all has been well.
I just want to tell you that it is very very HOT!
enjoy - you'll have a wonderful time - there is something to do for everyone.
I have gone to <yrtly Beach about 5 times in August over the last 12 yrs abd except for maybe 1-2 days of rain most of my weeks have been just great without any inclement weather actually I am going this August
Hi L.,
I vacation in SC with my family almost always in August! We've rented the same beach house for the last 4 years and have had beautiful weather: sunny and hot! There is always a chance of a hurricane during hurricanes season but I wouldn't worry too much. Hope you have fun!
Best,
H.
