Myrtle Beach has a clear season when tourists like to hit the beach, but what about locals?

Each season comes with its own unique benefits and drawbacks.

The beaches are packed in the summer, and sometimes it’s just too hot.

Winter, on the other hand, offers empty beaches, but the weather’s cold.

Spring and fall have more mild temperatures, but it may not be warm enough for some beach bums.

We want to know the best time to hang by the ocean. Who better to ask than the people who know Myrtle Beach best — our readers?

Fill out the form below to tell us when you like to relax on the Grand Strand most and why. The form is open until Friday, so get your responses in while you can. You may be featured in an upcoming Sun News story.
