The weather is heating up, so it’s not too early to start planning your Independence Day trip!
Myrtle Beach is the prime destination for summer fun, especially for July 4th. What could be better than fun in the sun with your family on our nation’s birthday?
Here are tips on how to make the most of your long holiday weekend Grand Strand getaway.
1. Start Planning Now
It’s no secret: Stealing away to Myrtle Beach is a popular idea, especially for an extended weekend. Planning early gives you a better shot at the accommodations you want. You can get tickets to activities, and reserve a table at your favorite restaurant.
2. Make it a Long Weekend with the Family
In 2021, Independence Day falls on a Sunday. That’s the perfect reason to take off Friday before and July 5 (the observed holiday) for a long weekend. Whether your family is a couple or grandparents, aunts, and uncles, there’s a great way to do this on the Grand Strand.
COUPLES
Whether you’re a new item or long-time companions, Myrtle Beach is a great place to get away. Enjoy a suite with a kitchen to prepare a meal together and a balcony with an ocean view.
WITH THE KIDS
A Brittain Resort property is awesome for kids of all ages. Easy beach access and cool water features provide all they need to have a blast with you for the holiday.
EXTENDED FAMILIES
Book a suite, condo, or more than one room to make this a great family get-together. Get roo

3. Have Fun in the Sun
The Grand Strand offers so many options for entertainment. Sometimes, all you need is some sun and sand to have a great time with the family, too. Don’t forget the sunscreen!
BUILD A SANDCASTLE
Bring your kids’ favorite figures and make the castles to scale for them. Buckets are essential, and a ruler and plastic knife are perfect for leveling and detail.
INVESTIGATE A TIDE POOL
These shallow spots of seawater appear at low tide and often brim with treasures. Look for shells and sharks’ teeth, but be careful not to hurt live organisms, such as crabs and mollusks.
FLY A KITE
Choose one with a tail so it can take strong seabreezes, and find an open space to lift off. Ocean winds are steady to keep your kite aloft without tons of turbulence.

4. Make a Treat to Share with Family
A good day at the beach should include great snacks. You don’t have to find a place to buy a treat — you can make them on your own.
EASY VANILLA CAKE BITES
What’s better than cake? Bite-sized cake! These are delicious.
