One of Canada’s favourite destinations will be back on the Porter map for next year.

Now is the time to start planning your escape with Porter Airlines' seasonal service to Myrtle Beach. Porter service to this popular South Carolina destination begins Feb. 13, 2019 and runs until May 19, 2019.

Porter offers non-stop flights directly from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Flights operate twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, with added frequency during March Break. Tickets are available now through www.flyporter.com or your travel agent.

"The warm air and ocean breezes of Myrtle Beach are just two-hours away with Porter," said Robert Deluce, president and CEO, Porter Airlines. "It's the perfect time of year to think about getting away for a few days of relaxation."

Ocean-front hotels, sandy beaches, and more than 100 golf courses in the area, make Myrtle Beach an ideal vacation for the entire family.

For a seamless experience, book your attractions and tee times in advance:

Legends in Concert
This international award-winning production features an outstanding cast of accomplished tribute artists, talented singers and dancers with a live band, bringing the music experience to life. A must see show in Myrtle Beach!

Brookgreen Gardens
A national historic landmark encompassing more than 9,000 acres in the South Carolina Lowcountry. The three main features of Brookgreen Gardens are the Huntington Sculpture Garden, the Center for American Sculpture, and the Lowcountry History and Wildlife Preserve. I’ve been twice and loved both visits.

There’s far more to Myrtle Beach than golf and the beach, fine as they are. You’ll find outstanding kayaking in quiet waterways just steps from the ocean all along the coast (try Murrells Inlet) and on the Black River. La Belle Amie Vineyards is a fun, tasty winery not far from the city, which also boasts a small but elegant art museum; the Myrtle Beach Art Museum.

The Hammock Shops is a great shopping spot in nearby Pawleys Island, and you’ll also find outlet shopping with tremendous deals. Hook and Barrel is a tremendous restaurant in Myrtle Beach.

Connecting flights are available via Toronto from numerous Porter destinations. Complete schedule details are available at www.flyporter.com.
