OT: What is Myrtle Beach like in March?

[digskat]

Just wondering what the weather is like, may consider going down for march break, just wondering if it is warm?

More like warm-ish... not many people swim and you will likely need a sweatshirt or jacket, at least at night. That said, it is not overcrowded at that time and is relaxing to be at the ocean. Also, most of the newer hotels have really fun indoor pools so you can still go swimming.

Been there once during that time and found it to be cool. Wore shorts but with a jacket. No one was in the water. But, might have also been cooler than usual that year.

The day time highs in March are about 16C and since the beach is windy it will be a fair bit cooler out there.

For sure it's better weather than we will be having here but if you are wanting a warm weather holiday I doubt you would get one in MB.

We've been to Myrtle beach the last three march breaks. We stay at a hotel with in indoor pool and lazy river and the kids are happy no matter what the weather. We know at least 10 other families that stay at the same resort so there is always someone to talk with at the pool area.

That being said last year we really only had one day that was warm enough for the beach. We had two other days that if you found a spot out of the wind you could lie out but it rained the other days. Two years ago only one day was NOT a beach day and the year before only two days were not fit for the beach.

Of course us canadians have a different view of beach days than the natives. I consider any day over 72 and sunny to be beach weather.

Personally if we didn't know anyone at the resort I would head a little farther south in search of better weather.
