Spend Thanksgiving in Myrtle Beach This Year
Can you believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner? If you’re still trying to figure out what to do for the holiday, why not spend it at the beach? Staying at Sandy Beach Oceanfront Resort lets you get away with your family, significant other, or even a group of friends. Myrtle Beach is a great place to visit during Thanksgiving because there is still plenty to do, but it can also be a little more relaxing than the busy summer months.
Here are a few reasons to spend Thanksgiving in Myrtle Beach this year.
Go Out to Dinner
One of the best things about a Thanksgiving vacation is not having to cook if you don’t want to. Several Myrtle Beach restaurants offer Thanksgiving meals, buffets, or special holiday menus. This lets you enjoy all your Thanksgiving favorites without spending the day cooking and cleaning up afterward.
If you decide to go out for Thanksgiving dinner, make your reservations early. Many local restaurants fill up quickly, especially during the most popular dining times. You can also always enjoy Thanksgiving dinner right in your Myrtle Beach vacation rental if you’d rather keep things a little more traditional.
Start the Day with a Turkey Trot
If you want to get out and enjoy the morning before Thanksgiving dinner, check out the Myrtle Beach Turkey Trot at The Market Common. This annual event is a fun way to start Thanksgiving Day and welcomes runners and walkers. It also includes a kids’ dash, so the whole family can enjoy it together.
If running isn’t your thing, take a morning walk along the beach with the family instead.
Shop the Day Away
Another reason to spend Thanksgiving in Myrtle Beach is all the shopping you can do during the holiday weekend.
Black Friday is always a popular time to shop for Christmas gifts, and Myrtle Beach has plenty of places to buy them. Visit Broadway at the Beach, Tanger Outlets, Barefoot Landing, and several other shopping areas along the Grand Strand.
Whether you’re shopping for the kids, your family, or even yourself, you may find some great deals while you’re here.
Relax on the Beach
When you stay with us at Sandy Beach Oceanfront Resort, the beach is right outside your door. November may not be the time of year you want to jump in the ocean, but the beach is still a great place to spend time. Take a walk along the shoreline, bring a chair down to the sand, let the kids play, or just sit back and enjoy the ocean views.
With the busy summer season behind us, the beach can feel a little more peaceful. It’s a great way to slow down and enjoy time together with the ones you love this holiday season.
Enjoy Some Holiday Lights
Thanksgiving weekend also marks the start of Myrtle Beach's Christmas preparations. You’ll find holiday lights, Christmas events, and other fun seasonal activities beginning around the Grand Strand. Winter Wonderland at The Beach brings holiday lights to the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and gives you another fun thing to do during your Thanksgiving getaway.
It’s a nice way to enjoy Thanksgiving and get into the Christmas spirit all at the same time.
