Also, consider planning a vacation with a group of friends. That way, you can split the costs.
Many Myrtle Beach hotels have relationships with different attractions in the area and may be able to offer discounts. We suggest asking your hotel’s friendly front desk staff for details.
Pick a Room with a Kitchen
Choosing a hotel room with a fully-equipped kitchen (or at least a microwave and refrigerator) can help you save some cash. Instead of eating at restaurants every day during your vacation, why not stock up on some groceries and prepare a meal in your room? Instead of going through the drive-thru for lunch, try packing a cooler with sandwiches and snacks. This will save you time, and it will also leave you with more money to spend on attractions and fun things to do around town. Treat yourself to a dinner at one of our many delicious restaurants at least once or twice though. It is vacation, after all.
Camping
Ah, the smell of a campfire, the crackling of leaves and twigs under your feet, and the South Carolina breeze weaving in and out of your hair are all great things to experience on your vacation. Though camping may not be the top choice for all vacationers, consider giving it a try. There are many fantastic campgrounds along the Grand Strand, and pitching a tent or staying in an RV costs a lot less than a hotel room. Plus, it is a great way to bond with your family!
Budgeting & Gift Cards
Step one to saving money on your vacation is planning out a daily budget. Some people also purchase gift cards throughout the year for their favorite places in Myrtle Beach, so when it is time to foot the bill at an attraction or restaurant, the damage won’t seem so terrible.
Early Bird Specials
Though sometimes you may not be hungry earlier in the evening, on those days when you find your belly growling after a day at the beach, try checking out restaurants for early bird specials. Oftentimes, you may find that you can save as much as 50% on your meal. Going to a happy hour is a great option, too; especially if you’re in the mood for a delicious maragarita.
Stay During the Off-Season
Though staying in Myrtle Beach during the summer is extremely popular, visiting during the off-season is a wonderful option for many vacationers. Whether you just want to take a break from work, visit friends, or escape cold weather, coming to Myrtle Beach during the off-season may also help you save some money. Not only do hotels lower their rates during this time of year, but restaurants, shows, and attractions may lower their prices as well.
Play in the Afternoon
Sure it’s nice to get your day started early in Myrtle Beach, but sometimes it is beneficial to arrive at attractions later in the day. Many fun attractions such as waterparks and miniature golf courses offer afternoon rates that worth waiting for.
Go to the Beach!
Myrtle Beach’s number one attraction is the beach. And–guess what–it’s free! If you do nothing else but go to the beach during your vacation, you are bound to leave with a great amount of spending money still in your pocket. Sounds like an awesome plan!
