Whether it’s sunny, rainy, or somewhere in between, Myrtle Beach has you covered this month.
January in Myrtle Beach is a little unpredictable, in the best way. One day, you’re soaking up sunny skies, and the next, you’re bundling up against a chilly breeze or dodging a rainstorm. But this coastal gem doesn’t let a little weather stop the fun. From outdoor adventures to cozy indoor escapes, Myrtle Beach has something for every kind of day, and we’ve put together your ultimate guide to making the most of it. Rain or shine, chilly or breezy, there’s always plenty to explore and enjoy.
For the Sunny Days: Brookgreen Gardens
When the sun decides to grace us with its presence, there’s only one place to be: Brookgreen Gardens. This sprawling 9,100-acre paradise is part art exhibit, part wildlife sanctuary, and part botanical dreamland. Whether you’re meandering through outdoor sculptures, exploring the seasonal gardens, or saying hi to the otters at the Lowcountry Zoo, there’s always something to look at.

When It’s Cloudy: Brunch at Zeytin
Cloudy skies call for good vibes and great food, and Zeytin’s got both. This Mediterranean-inspired hotspot in Myrtle Beach is the perfect place to ride out the gray weather with a mimosa in hand and a plate of something amazing in front of you. Think hummus that’s basically art, fresh flavors that scream “vacation mode,” and a cozy ambiance that’ll make you forget the sun isn’t shining.

Rainy Day Rescue: Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show
If rain’s on the radar, it’s time to turn up the drama—pirate-style. Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show is where indoor fun reaches new heights (literally, thanks to the aerial stunts). Between cheering on the performers and diving into a four-course meal, you’ll forget all about the storm outside. Rain? What rain?

For the Chilly Days: Grand Strand Coffee
When the temps drop, head straight to Grand Strand Coffee for a warm-up that tastes like happiness in a cup. This local gem is as cozy as it gets, with specialty brews that are worth braving the chill for. Whether you’re a latte lover or a straight-up black coffee purist, this is the spot to thaw out and fuel up.

If It’s Windy: Myrtle Beach SkyWheel
Windy? No problem. Embrace the gusts and head to the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel for a front-row seat to some of the best views in town. The gondolas are climate-controlled (so no windburn here), and the sights from 187 feet up? Totally worth it. Just hold onto your hat—it’s a long way down!
