Myrtle Beach has clinched a top spot as a premier destination for families this summer, according to recent data from Google Flights. The popular travel planning tool revealed that Myrtle Beach was the second most searched-for destination for family travel, following Turks and Caicos. This distinction is based on searches for travel between June 1 to August 31, 2024, indicating significant interest in family vacations during these peak summer months of this year.

The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau celebrated this ranking, noting Myrtle Beach as the sole U.S.-based destination among the top five, which also includes international hotspots like Jamaica, Cancun, and Aruba.
