2025 Myrtle Beach Bike Rally Set to Rev Up Excitement from May 9 to May 18

Hey there, Myrtle Beach lovers! Get ready to start your engines because the 2025 Myrtle Beach Bike Rally is just around the corner! This exhilarating event will rev its engines from May 9 to May 18 and bring a massive influx of motorcycles and vehicles to the Grand Strand. It’s the perfect time to grab your leather jackets, hit the road, and enjoy everything this rally has to offer!

Traffic Alert: Expect a Two-Wheeled Invasion!

As the excitement heats up, cyclists will be buzzing on the roads, especially along U.S. 17 Business in Murrells Inlet. If you’re planning to drive around during this time, you might want to keep in mind that traffic is likely to be more hectic than usual due to the motorcycle parade taking over the streets. With thousands of bikers and enthusiasts joining the fun, it’s going to be a busy time, so patience will be key.

Parking Challenges: Where to Stash Your Ride

Finding a good parking spot could turn into a scavenger hunt, especially for those driving cars. For bikers, you’re in luck! The two largest biker bars in the area—Beaver Bar and Suck Bang Blow—offer free motorcycle parking. If you want to ensure you have room to stretch out, Suck Bang Blow is usually your best bet for availability. However, if you’re not on a bike, don’t fret; there are options available for your vehicle too!

Along U.S. 17 Business, several local businesses are providing paid parking options, ranging from as little as $5 to $30. While these spots are convenient, be prepared for a bit of a challenge in finding one during the rush of rally-goers. Additionally, there’s the local South Strand Assembly of God church, which has opened its land for parking in previous years. They typically charge $5 for motorcycles and $10 for cars, located perfectly between Suck Bang Blow and Beaver Bar.

Get There Early: A Local Tip

If you want the best chance of scoring budget-friendly street parking, arriving early is your best bet! In the surrounding Georgetown County area, you can take advantage of free street parking along the right-of-way, but remember, your tires must stay off the road to avoid parking tickets. Be vigilant, as those pesky tickets may be issued for improperly parked vehicles, especially in front of local homes.

More Parking Options: Know Your Surroundings

For those who are exploring side streets in Georgetown County, there’s ample opportunity for free parking if you keep an eye out for no parking signs. Just be sure to park responsibly to avoid any fines while you enjoy the rally activities!

More Than Just Bikes: A Celebration of Community!

The Spring Myrtle Beach Bike Rally is not just the biggest bike rally of the year; it spans over 50 miles of beautiful coastline and serves as a celebration of motorcycle culture. This vibrant event draws in thousands of bikers and visitors from near and far, bringing an electric atmosphere that’s hard to resist. Get ready for parades, live music, and everything festive!

What’s Next? Mark Your Calendars!

As the Myrtle Beach Bike Rally wraps up, another exciting event is waiting in the wings. The Atlantic Beach Memorial Day Black Pearl Cultural Heritage and Bike Festival will follow right after from May 23 to May 26. If you can’t get enough of the motorcycle festival fun, mark your calendars for the Fall Myrtle Beach Bike Rally, happening from September 26 to October 5, 2025.
