A November beach trip is a great time to recharge before the busy holiday season and get in the Christmas spirit, or to just relax and take a breath. Here are some of our top things to do at the beach in November.

Get a Jump on Your Christmas Shopping
Myrtle Beach is home to tons of great places to shop, so why not get away and get a jump on your shopping?
Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing are both home to tons of specialty stores and boutiques perfect for unique gifts you won’t find anywhere else. Restaurants and entertainment opportunities abound at both of these popular complexes, so you can spend an entire day at either location. November is a relatively slow month for tourism at the beach, so you won’t face the large crowds that we experience in summer, making it a perfect time to try out great restaurants with no wait times!
If you’re a Black Friday shopper, you will not be disappointed with your shopping opportunities on the Grand Strand. Big Box stores are located throughout the Grand Strand with their Black Friday sales starting as early as Thanksgiving Day. Tanger Outlets and Coastal Grand Mall are also popular Black Friday hotspots.
