Can-Am Days and Bustling Beaches Await in Myrtle Beach. Experience Southern Hospitality at its finest in this nostalgic four-season beach town.
By Sabrina Pirillo
Attention snowbirds, families, golfers, couples and sports lovers: it is now the season to trade blistering winter for a salty ocean breeze and subtropical warmth.
For more than six decades, Canadians have flocked to the Grand Strand’s 100 kilometres of sun-kissed coastline, teeing off on lush greens, indulging in seaside fun and tantalizing their taste buds with Carolina cuisine. It’s no wonder Myrtle Beach is considered a four-season destination for Canadians. When winter hits its worst, remember, down here, the only thing blanketed in white is the sand, and the only salt you need is in your margarita. Here’s how to get out from the cold the Myrtle Beach way.
The popular annual promotion of Myrtle Beach Can-Am Days (March 13-22, 2026) will celebrate 65 years of friendship with Canadian visitors, making it the perfect reason to escape the North’s frost and soak up sunshine on the Grand Strand.
All Fore Golf
The Grand Strand boasts over 90 championship golf courses and hosts more than three million rounds of golf every year. It’s no wonder that Myrtle Beach is dubbed the “Golf Capital of the World.” The popular miniature golf scene also earns its reputation as the “Mini Golf Capital of the World.”
From May 7-10, 2026, the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, a PGA Tour event, returns to the stunning Dunes Golf and Beach Club, a Robert Trent Jones-designed course framed by towering oaks and coastal views.
For a different spin, try PopStroke, backed by Tiger Woods, located in Broadway at the Beach. It features two fun-filled 18-hole putting courses, a clubhouse, dining and a playground. We’re all fore this.
Take Me to The Beach
The Beach is where you belong and the Grand Strand is at the heart of it all. From the family-friendly beach town of Surfside Beach to the quaint fishing village of Murrells Inlet (once the hiding spot of the infamous pirate Blackbeard), Myrtle Beach is made up of 14 unique communities spanning roughly 100 km. Whether you settle into a beach chair with sweet tea and watch the waves, or take a leisurely stroll along the shore, this unique destination is the place to slow down and reconnect.
Lights, Camera, Attractions
Myrtle Beach’s oceanfront Boardwalk and Promenade offer hundreds of attractions. Live music, thrilling rides, arcades, shops and restaurants—this seaside stretch has something for everyone. The colossal 57-metre SkyWheel boasts sensational views from climate-controlled gondolas. Back on the ground, Legends in Concert and the Hollywood Wax Museum are fan-favourites while Broadway at the Beach offers family-friendly fun. Get up close and personal with aquatic friends at Ripley’s Aquarium. Go upside down and nerd out at the interactive science museum WonderWorks, a massive amusement park for the mind. Family Kingdom boasts a historic wooden roller coaster, one of the few remaining on the east coast. For a slower pace, head to Brookgreen Gardens, a National Historic Landmark and sculpture garden, or cross the road to Huntington Beach State Park for wildlife encounters.
Culinary Carolina
With more than 2,000 restaurants from chef-driven, locally owned gems to global cuisine and national chains, no one (and we mean no one) leaves The Beach hungry. Local Tip: Don’t miss Sea Captain’s House. Built in the 1930s, this oceanfront mainstay is famous for its rich crabmeat and roe she-crab soup. (She is often thought to refer to the sherry added!) Murrells Inlet is deemed the “Seafood Capital of South Carolina,” while regulars pile in at Wicked Tuna for their “hook-to-plate” fresh fish philosophy. It’s an ideal place to dine after strolling along the popular MarshWalk.
Did You Know?
If you decided to dine out once a week for 34 years, you would never go to the same restaurant twice!
