Barefoot Landing Monday Fireworks

Starting June 8, Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach hosts free Monday-night fireworks over the water. It's a beautiful setting — grab dinner at one of the waterfront restaurants and stay for the show.

Surfside Beach Farmers Market

Every Tuesday, the Surfside Beach Farmers Market brings local produce, crafts, and food vendors to the southern end of the Grand Strand. It's a great low-key morning activity before hitting the beach.

Beach Tips for June

June is peak season, which means the beaches are busy — especially on weekends. Here's how to get the best experience:

• Arrive early — beach chairs and umbrellas fill up fast at the most popular access points
• Try the less-crowded spots — Huntington Beach State Park (south of Murrells Inlet) and Cherry Grove Beach (North Myrtle Beach) are local favorites
• Water temperature — Atlantic water in June averages around 78–80°F, perfect for swimming
• Jellyfish season — June can bring jellyfish. Check local beach reports before swimming

June Weather

Expect highs in the upper 80s to low 90s°F with high humidity. Afternoon thunderstorms are common — plan outdoor activities for mornings and early afternoons, and keep an eye on the forecast for evening events.

Quick June Itinerary Ideas

Weekend Warrior (2 days): Arrive Friday, hit the beach Saturday morning, catch CCMF or Hot Summer Nights Saturday evening, Sunday brunch at a local spot + afternoon beach time before heading home.

Family Week: Base yourself on the oceanfront, hit the boardwalk every evening, do one day at Myrtle Waves or Broadway at the Beach, and catch the Wednesday fireworks.
