Halloween by the Beach: Family-Friendly Spooks & Coastal Fun

Halloween Vibes by the Sea

Halloween in North Myrtle Beach comes with salty breezes, jack-o’-lantern smiles, and family-friendly fun. Here, costumes meet coastal sunsets, candy meets boardwalk strolls, and every ghost and goblin has room to run free. Fall travelers find fewer crowds, cooler evenings, and a festival spirit that glows brighter than any candle in a pumpkin.

BooFest! at Barefoot Landing

Barefoot Landing hosts its annual BooFest! on October 25, 2025, where kids and pets compete in costume contests, families enjoy games, and candy flows like the tide. The lakeside backdrop makes for picture-perfect memories, with autumn light dancing on the water.

Barefoot Landing Trick-or-Treat

On October 31, 2025, Barefoot Landing transforms into a safe and festive trick-or-treat haven. Shops and restaurants welcome children with buckets and bags ready, while parents enjoy the lively but relaxed atmosphere. From 5 to 7 p.m., it’s smiles all around as little witches and superheroes parade the boardwalk.

Halloween BOOnanza at NMB Park & Sports Complex

The Halloween BOOnanza returns October 25, 2025, at the North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex. Expect trick-or-treat trails, marshmallow roasts, inflatables, hayrides, and even a magic show. Costumes are encouraged, and laughter is guaranteed.

Tips for Families

• Bring a sweater: Coastal evenings cool quickly in late October.
• Arrive early: Parking is easier, and kids can enjoy more time exploring.
• Pack extra bags: Candy haul tends to surprise even seasoned trick-or-treaters.
• Check event pages: For updates on schedules or weather-related changes.
