Summer may be winding down, but there’s still plenty of time to make unforgettable memories before the new school year begins. August is the perfect time to pack your bags and head to Prince Resort in North Myrtle Beach for one last sun-soaked adventure with the family. With endless family fun in the sun and a prime location steps from the ocean, your end-of-summer getaway will be the highlight of the year. And here’s a bonus for you: South Carolina’s Tax-Free Weekend is happening August 1–3, 2025, just in time for your trip.

By August, the summer crowds start to thin out, but the weather remains warm enough for a beach day or two. At Prince Resort, you can wake up to stunning ocean views, enjoy a morning walk on the beach, or explore the Cherry Grove Fishing Pier steps outside the resort. Let the kids build a sandcastle while you relax under a beach umbrella with a good book. Of course, be sure to pack plenty of sunscreen and bring a lunch for your time on the beach. Our resort offers easy access to numerous local attractions, eliminating the long lines often encountered earlier in the season.

Shop Smart During Tax-Free Weekend
