What October feels like
October brings the bike rallies and the last of the beach weather, and the shag dancing at the North Myrtle beach clubs keeps going long after the swimmers give up. Restaurants start posting winter hours toward the end of the month, so check before you drive out.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 72° — comfortable for swimming.
