Hugging the northern end of the Grand Strand, North Myrtle Beach combines the scenic beauty of the South Carolina coastline with all the recreational opportunities of one of America’s favorite vacation spots. This 13.5-square-mile area includes four former beach towns -- Windy Hill, Crescent Beach, Ocean Drive and Cherry Grove – and extends from the city limits of Myrtle Beach to the North Carolina state line.
North Myrtle Beach sits nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. A family oriented area with less traffic, this northern end has perhaps a slightly slower-pace of life than Myrtle Beach, its big-city sister to the south. This area remains proud of its heritage and welcoming to the many visitors who come here to vacation.
