Grand Strand and Myrtle Beach Area

For decades, South Carolina's Grand Strand has been a mecca for vacationers and retirees looking for that great escape. Stretching for more than 60 miles along the Atlantic Coast, this string of beach resorts includes such ocean-side communities as Myrtle Beach, considered the Strand's hub, Cherry Grove, Ocean Drive, North Myrtle Beach, Atlantic Beach, Surfside, Litchfield, Pawleys Island, and Georgetown. Each year millions are drawn to the Grand Strand and Myrtle Beach for swimming, sunning, boating, shelling and golfing on many of the 100 golf courses located in these areas.
