COASTAL HOMES
Sea you soon.
Myrtle Beach is a coastal city in South Carolina and part of the Grand Strand, a region spanning about 60 miles of coastline. Plan around the places you want to visit: the beach and Boardwalk, Broadway at the Beach, or nearby golf courses.
Named for the wax myrtle shrubs that grow along this coast, Myrtle Beach began welcoming vacationers in the early 20th century. It was incorporated as a town in 1938 and became a city in 1957.
Over the decades, this seaside community grew into a beloved vacation destination. Today, beach days, golf outings and time together continue to shape its story—and give visitors a reason to return.
Myrtle Beach beaches & Boardwalk
Make time for the Atlantic shoreline, a walk along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, and views from the SkyWheel. Start with one outing and leave room for a slower beach day.
Family attractions in Myrtle Beach
Broadway at the Beach brings together shopping, dining, and family entertainment. Explore Ripley’s Aquarium, plan a mini-golf stop, or browse our guide for more ideas.
