Myrtle Beach's Warm Ocean Waters: Perfect for Summer Watersports Adventures
Did you know? During the summer months, ocean water along Myrtle Beach's shoreline is about 20°F warmer than along New York beaches. In fact, over the past 30 years, the highest temperature in the Grand Strand area reached 88°F—in July! These inviting waters make it the ideal time for thrilling watersports.
With temperatures in the 80s°F, there's no excuse to stay ashore. Dive into SCUBA, parasailing, kayaking, banana boat rides, or Jet Ski rentals. As longtime locals who've tried nearly every option, we highly recommend Express Watersports in Murrells Inlet—just south of central Myrtle Beach. They offer top-tier rentals, guided tours, and a 3,500-square-foot retail shop packed with outdoor gear.
Blog followers know our passion for kayaking, and Kayak Express at Express Watersports is a favorite. Murrells Inlet's saltwater estuary brims with wildlife, perfect for paddling. Whether kayaking, parasailing, or Jet Skiing, Myrtle Beach waters promise unforgettable fun.
