North Myrtle Beach is located on the North End of a long stretch of beach called the Grand Strand. This laid-back city is known for being the birthplace of the Carolina Shag dance, as well as a thriving community that is home to top-notch dining, award-winning theatre, shopping, and more. Of course, many people spend most of their time by the ocean while in North Myrtle Beach, but there are lots of other fun attractions here like ropes courses, cable wakeboarding, escape rooms, and fishing.
