Why now
$512 per person round trip, or $1,023 for two, all-in when we checked. That's $3 under $515, the median of 12 earlier checks on this route, so it's a fair price, not a steal. We've also seen it as low as $397, so it has dipped before. October comes after the August–September hurricane peak, and the hot, crowded July–August stretch is over. The forecast opens at 88°F and clear on Friday, then cools to 75°F and 69°F under clouds, with rain chances of 5% or less. Here's the catch: the outbound connects overnight and lands Saturday at 9:13 AM, and the flight home leaves Sunday at 9:32 AM. That makes it a quick Saturday of beach and boardwalk, not a slow weekend.
The kind of trip this is
A short, busy beach getaway on the Grand Strand, sixty miles of Atlantic sand lined with resorts, golf courses and mini-golf. It suits couples or friends who are fine with a packed Saturday: a beach walk, a SkyWheel ride, dinner and a show. Families will like the easy entertainment too. The pace is quick, since most of the trip is travel and you get one full day on the ground.

Questions readers ask
How much is the flight?
$512 per person round trip, or $1,023 for two, taxes and fees included, on F9 + MX with 1 stop. Other options we found cost $535 and $543 per person. Prices can change after we check.
Is this a good price?
It's fair. $512 is $3, or 1%, under the $515 median of 12 earlier checks on this route. We've seen it as low as $397, so don't expect a big discount.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip from San Juan to Myrtle Beach, you pay in US dollars, and there's no time difference.
What is the weather like?
Friday is forecast clear at 88°F. Saturday is overcast at 75°F and Sunday overcast at 69°F, with lows from 67°F down to 49°F. Rain chances are 5% or lower, so pack a layer for the evenings.
Is 2 nights enough?
It's tight. The outbound lands Saturday at 9:13 AM and the return leaves Sunday at 9:32 AM, so you really get one day. That's enough for the beach, the SkyWheel and a show.
What does the whole trip cost for two?
Our estimate is $1,611 for two: $1,024 for flights, $227 at Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort and $360 for spending, based on $90 per person per day.
