  Beachfront lights-out rule

  Any light visible from the sand has to be shielded or off between 10pm and 6am through nesting season, which is why oceanfront rentals come with blackout blinds and no torches on the beach after dark. Fonte ↗

• Feriado

  Memorial Day weekend

  23–25 MaiFeriado nacionalLotadoReserve cedo

  Memorial Day, the last Monday of May, opens the summer travel season: over the long weekend campsites and lodging book out, roads are slow, and parking at the most popular spots fills early in the day. Fonte ↗

Lotação máxima — School-holiday season, Summer break em Estados Unidos

• Temporada

  Sea warm enough

  1 Jun – 10 Out · normalmente

  The Atlantic here is swimmable from June and stays that way well past Labor Day. What changes in early autumn is the number of people on the sand, not the water.

  Atlantic hurricane season

  1 Jun – 30 Nov

  Direct hits on this stretch of the South Carolina coast are rare, but the island is flat, low and reached by one causeway, so evacuation orders come early and often. September is the month that matters. Fonte ↗

  School-holiday season

  5 Jun – 20 AgoFérias escolaresLotadoReserve cedo

  The island runs on the school calendar: bike paths busy by nine, beach clubs full, and rentals let by the week from Saturday to Saturday, which is why every road on and off jams on the same morning.
