Myrtle Beach Climate & Geography

Myrtle Beach is an area sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Highway on eastern South Carolina. Similar to other southern states, it experiences a humid, tropical climate because of the Bermuda High pumping humidity from the Atlantic. Hot and wet summers lead to drier and mild winters. Winter temperatures tend to vary, however, with an average of 33 days of frost but no snow.

Recreation, Culture & Entertainment In Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach is a golf lover’s dream. There are roughly 100 golf courses and most of them are open year round. Residents can also expect plenty of outdoor recreation on one of the longest stretches of beach on the planet, including camping at Myrtle Beach State Park.

There is no shortage of entertainment in Myrtle Beach. The city has over 1,800 restaurants, large shopping centers like the Market Common and Broadway at the Beach, and seven featured theaters that bring in big names.

One of the biggest draws for retirees is the low cost of living in Myrtle Beach. Housing is especially below average, as well as health care, groceries, and transportation. On average, home prices are more affordable than most beach cities.

South Carolina is generally friendly to retirees as the state does not tax Social Security and offers a retirement income deduction when calculating income tax. While property taxes are below average, sales taxes are higher at 9 percent.
