"The fall months, September and October, bring warm and comfortable temperatures to the Myrtle Beach area. It's what we locals like to call the 'perfect time of year' because it's basically an extra 60 days of beautiful, tranquil summer," said Scott Schult, executive vice president of Marketing for the Myrtle Beach Area CVB. "The warmer ocean waters, less crowded and myriad of attractions options, incredible affordability and beautiful lush surroundings allow visitors to extend their summer and enjoy the warm rays of sunshine as the rest of the country pulls out jeans and sweatshirts to prepare for the chilly fall air."

Whether a traveler has never visited Myrtle Beach or comes every year, the campaign promises hidden gems that have yet to be uncovered. Some secrets offer an interesting fact or deal for a common tourist stop, like the free shag dancing lessons at Fat Harold's on Tuesday nights, while others feature venues that are mostly visited by locals, such as the ecotourism adventures at Carolina Safari.

These secrets will come to life through significant advertising and social media integration including weekly trip giveaways. Visitors can also learn more about the secrets by visiting VisitMyrtleBeach.com/60Days and following the videos and images that tell the story of the secrets.
