RentExpert invites you to enjoy South Carolina's Grand Strand with a 60-mile stretch of sandy beaches at your feet and sunshine over your head! Myrtle Beach summers are spicy ones -- perfect for cooling off in the ocean or lounging on a pool raft. Here is what to expect:

July and August are hot vacation months for travelers with temps in the upper 80's and 90's to match. Add high-humidity levels and you have a double-whammy heat effect. A common phrase we're hearing from the locals is "Phew! It's a hot one today!" Of course it's with that good-spirited southern charm. Note that Hurricane Season begins June 1 and continues through November 30. August and September are peak months for hurricane activity. If a hurricane is expected in the area, a "Hurricane Watch" will occur.

How To Dress For Fun In The Sun

• Hey -- we don't need to tell you to bring your bathing suit, but here's a reminder for that last minute suitcase check
• Comfortable beach-wear such as loose, light-colored wraps and sarongs or long sleeved linen shirts will help protect you from the hot sun. It can also be uncomfortalbe walking through those sandy beaches -- they are hot! Flip-flops and sandals will help.
  
• Ladies -- we love stylish hats too! Go for it and have some fun -- it will help protect your skin too.
• Sunglasses
• A dry change of clothes for the end of the day
• Sunscreen should always be a part of your daily routine!
• The American Cancer Society promotes their "Slip! Slop! Slap! and Wrap!" campaign -- slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat, and wrap yourself in sunglasses to protect yourself.

Summer Nights

Myrtle Beach means fun at night too. Temperatures do cool off into the 70's, but the evenings could bring a bit of rain. Be prepared to bring a light jacket or wrap to keep you warm and dry.

Have a great time in Myrtle Beach! RentExpert loves this places and we know you will too!
