South Strand beaches

Just south of the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach are several communities that offer a different beach vacation experience. If you’d love an oceanfront peppered with beach houses and vacation rentals, Myrtle Beach’s South Strand is worth checking out. Surfside Beach: Surfside Beach is on the Atlantic Ocean, directly south of Myrtle Beach. With 2 miles of pristine beach, excellent services, temperate climate, many restaurants and attractions nearby, Surfside Beach is a popular place to vacation, relocate, and retire. Garden City Beach: Located 10 miles south of Myrtle Beach, Garden City Beach is situated between the creeks of Murrells Inlet and the Atlantic Ocean, giving you the best of both worlds. Golf, fishing, dining and accommodations all combine to make Garden City a popular family beach vacation destination. Murrells Inlet: Savor the abundance of freshly prepared seafood in the state’s “Seafood Capital” restaurants (more than 30!) serving mouth-watering delicacies. Award-winning chefs create culinary masterpieces with the bountiful seafood harvested off the shores of Murrells Inlet. Walk among the wetlands, cruise the creek, savor the world-famous seafood, and explore the variety of onshore pleasures. Litchfield/Pawleys Island: Travel even farther south, and you’ll find the shabby chic Litchfield and Pawleys Island communities. Check out the Hammock Shops and other unique shopping as well as top-notch restaurants in this beautiful part of South Carolina’s coast.
