Holiday season kicks off in Myrtle Beach with special discounts alongside festive events.
To usher in the holiday season, more than 30 Myrtle Beach area properties are offering deep discounts for Black Friday and Cyber Monday – including some with discounts of more than 50 percent for winter getaways and spring and summer 2019. These deals also include savings on various dining and attractions throughout Myrtle Beach.
