Ah, North Myrtle Beach in May. Can you smell that salty sea breeze? Can you feel that warm sand between your toes? Can you hear the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore? If you’re looking for the perfect beach vacation, look no further than North Myrtle Beach in May.

  1. The Weather is Just Right

Let’s be honest—sweltering heat is uncomfortable. And there is a higher potential for rain in the first few months of the year. But in May, the weather is spot-on. The average temperature is a comfortable 80 degrees. It’s warm enough to hit the beach and work on your tan, but not so hot that you’ll sweat bullets. And with an average of only five days of rain in May, you won’t have to worry about your beach day getting rained out.

  1. Smaller Crowds

The summer crowds haven’t yet hit North Myrtle Beach in May. That means you won’t have to fight for a spot on the beach or wait in long lines at the ice cream shop. You can enjoy all the fun and sun of the beach without feeling like you’re competing for space.

  1. Better Deals

With fewer people comes better deals. Many vacation rental companies, including our own Thomas Beach Vacations, offer lower rates in May than during the peak summer months. You can save on your beach vacation without sacrificing any of the fun.

  1. More Wildlife Sightings

If you’re a nature lover, this is the time of year when sea turtles start laying their eggs on the beach. You might even be lucky enough to witness a sea turtle nesting or hatching. However, they are a protected species. So, just observe. And if you’re a bird watcher, you’ll be delighted to know that many migratory bird species pass through North Myrtle Beach. Bring your binoculars and see how many species you can spot.
