• Summer is high season in Holden Beach. To find the best value, shift your family's Southport vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Southport vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Southport area, The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early.
