Well, we decided to come down this October to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We'll stay at the campground we always go to(not bringing the camper-going to rent a home on site). I know-why not go all out-but we want some play money to have fun!
What can we expect that time of year down there? We normally have been anywhere from April to August. What restaurants will still be open? Not really into the touristy stuff (we did the Gay Dolphin when the kids were little and Medieval Times), just wanting to relax-we are just going for a week this trip.
So give me the good the bad and the closed for that time of year. We-SO need this trip! It's been 3 long years since we've been down. I need my beach fix-and we'll house hunt a bit too when we come down. I am so excited-I can't wait!
Everything is pretty much open year round now minus the mini-golf & a few of the seafood buffet places. Weather-wise you can expect April type days. Usually 70's during the day & dipping down to 50 at night.
October is one of my favorite months. The weather is still beautiful and it has calmed down quite a bit from the summer season. As baylovers said, you find most stuff is still business as usual. Have a wonderful visit!
How would we find out which restaurants are open during that time? I can't wait to come back and get my fix of seafood-I'd hate to have one of the places we usually go be closed. The mini-golf, well the campground has that. Plus the indoor pool will still be open for that time of year-I checked with them on that. We are probably looking the first week in October to head down. We've been coming down for 13 years and it's going to feel like we are coming home. We normally have 3 weeks-but my new job-I only get two weeks a year at this point.
And thanks for the well wishes-it's been a interesting 25 years to be sure!
Most normal restaurants will be open...some of the "Calabash buffets" will be closed for the season...no loss, IMO! There's really no way a normal person can eat $25 worth of what they call 'seafood"....
It will still be warm and nice....perfect golf or pool weather!

cb at sea is right. Most restaurants will be open and are open all year long. The only ones that aren't and might not be are the buffet all you can stuff your face with places. If those are what you like, you might be disappointed. I'm not sure though because I have never been to one of them. A lot of people do like them and I don't mean to disparage them, only to say that I don't know anything about them.
If you have specific restaurants in mind that you want to know about, most of them have websites or you can google them and get their phone numbers to call and find out if they will be open or not.
You can also check out myrtlebeachrestaurants.com and/or just google Myrtle Beach restaurants and you will find a lot of websites with restaurant information and reviews.
Be aware that since you have not been here for several years, some of your favorites may have closed permanently and not just for the season. Sadly, so many places open for a year or two and then are not able to stay in business. That has happened to me with several of my former favorite places.
No matter what, there will be plenty of wonderful places to eat and lots of things to do and you will probably have perfect weather that time of year to celebrate your anniversary.
September and the beginning to mid October are the best months to visit the beach for a number of reasons.
Unlike days of old, everything is open except the waterparks
The weather is very nice, no winds on the beach like early spring and rain storms everyday June and July
The ocean is still warm
The rates are low for accommodations
The crowds have died down, yet is still busy
The food and service is great, in the spring they are breaking in new people, during the season they are so busy and just concerned about turning tables

All restaurants will be open in October, it is still peak golf season. The only times any restaurants close is from New Years through Valentines Day.
