Best Beach-Inspired Costumes for a Myrtle Beach Halloween
If you’re coming to Myrtle Beach for Halloween, you can’t slap on a mask and call it quits.
You have to bring it, Grand Strand style. We’re talking about beach-themed costumes. And you have some excellent choices.
Here are the five we predict will be the hottest of the season.
Tips for Choosing a Cool Halloween Costume
It’s the most straightforward holiday call: To dress up or not to dress up? Even as a grownup, you’re going to want to show out. Here’s some advice.
- Don’t wait. A poll of costume buyers reveals that most can’t find what they’re looking for last minute. Whether you are splicing it together or buying a kit, do it early in the shopping season.
- Check the weather. Look at the forecast a few days before and the day of. You can make adjustments for warm, cool, or rainy weather.
- Go classic. Did you know 4.6 million grownups plan to be a witch every year? Keep this in mind if you need a last-minute costume or change.
