About
Myrtle Beach, SC
Santa Pub Crawls
Myrtle Beach’s SantaCon brings the Grand Strand’s bar culture and South Carolina holiday spirit to one of the most beach-resort December celebrations in the South. The Broadway at the Beach area and the Ocean Boulevard bar corridor are the heart of Grand Strand nightlife and when SantaCon arrives the combination of the Atlantic Ocean beach setting, the Grand Strand tourism energy, and the excellent local bars creates a holiday celebration with a Myrtle Beach character that is warm, festive, and genuinely beach resort South Carolina.
Myrtle Beach is one of the most visited beach destinations in America and the SantaCon reflects the Grand Strand’s tradition of celebration and entertainment. The Santa costume competition draws on the beach resort and golf community and the entries tend to feature beach Santa interpretations that only work when December temperatures are comfortable enough to be outdoors on the strand.
December in Myrtle Beach is cool and mild, typically ranging from 38 to 52 degrees at night. The South Carolina Lowcountry winter is pleasant and the Grand Strand on a December SantaCon night with the holiday lights and the Atlantic Ocean backdrop creates a beach resort holiday atmosphere that is genuinely special.
Our hosts manage the Myrtle Beach route through Broadway at the Beach and the Ocean Boulevard bar area. Specials confirmed at every stop, wristbands handle entry, and the Santa competition celebrates Grand Strand creativity.
