Drone Captures Myrtle Beach Blanketed In Rare Snow

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA – Video filmed by the City of Myrtle Beach shows snow covering the Grand Strand shoreline on February 1, 2026.

The post text reads, “Enjoy these beautiful views of Myrtle Beach SC. Feb 1, 2026,” highlighting the unusual winter scenery.

The footage captures the SkyWheel Ferris wheel, boardwalk pavilions, and sandy beaches dusted in white. Snow covers dunes, palm trees, and high-rise hotel rooftops along Ocean Boulevard. Footprints and tire tracks mark the fresh powder, while the Atlantic Ocean laps gently against icy shores. No people or vehicles appear, emphasizing the quiet, serene landscape.

The storm responsible, Winter Storm Gianna, a bomb cyclone off the Southeast coast, brought 5–8 inches of snow to Myrtle Beach and surrounding Horry County. This marks the second significant snowfall in consecutive years for the region, following a similar event in January 2025.
