Driving from Myrtle Beach: What to Know

Myrtle Beach sits in South Carolina, in the Southeast, and most trips out of town start on the local highway network before joining the interstate system. Fill up before you leave — fuel is usually cheaper in town than at highway service plazas — and check conditions before longer drives, since weather in the Southeast can change travel times considerably. The main corridor for trips listed on this page is I-20, so check for construction or closures on that route before setting out.
