Soon after Thanksgiving, Christmas music will play on the radio as people go shopping on Black Friday. Let’s look at what you and your family can enjoy while you vacation here.

When you think of Thanksgiving, you think of spending quality time with your family. A lot of families have made coming to North Myrtle Beach a tradition each year for Thanksgiving because if you stay in one of our vacation rentals, there will be plenty of space for the whole family. Staying home can be stressful because we all want our homes to be in perfect condition when the family comes over, but we tend to stress more. When you spend a holiday in North Myrtle Beach, it’s more relaxing, and you will want to spend more time with the ones you love. Get the whole family involved in cooking Thanksgiving dinner, or go out to eat at a local restaurant instead.
Holiday Shopping
After Thanksgiving, while the Christmas music fills the air, go shopping until you drop at one of the two Tanger Outlet Malls in Myrtle Beach. We know that almost everyone likes to ensure they get the best deals for Christmas shopping. While you can find fantastic deals at the outlets and malls, you can also discover great deals at local shops. Purchasing something from a local shop can make for the best gifts to give. Don’t miss out on any deals this year while you shop for those Christmas lists.
Beautiful Weather
While many other states may be experiencing winter-like temperatures during the month of November, the weather around Myrtle Beach is quite pleasant. With highs normally in the high 60s, who wouldn’t want to spend the holidays there? While the weather isn’t as warm as in the summer, it sure makes for a wonderful day to spend on the beach with the family. Spend the day on the beach soaking up the rays, and in the evening, take a walk with a loved one on the beach. Take advantage of the beautiful weather that Myrtle Beach has to offer you and your family on your Thanksgiving vacation.
Fun Holiday Shows
While spending the day at the beach can be just as fun for everyone, why not take advantage of the exciting holiday shows that begin in November? If you are looking for some great shows to see while you are in town, we know of some that you must attend. Go to Pirates Voyage to enjoy their Christmas Dinner Show, or how about Medieval Times, where you can see their new performance?

Many of the shows are award-winning holiday performances that happen to be in the Grand Strand area.
