North Myrtle Beach Area Guide
North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is located along a nine-mile stretch of the Atlantic Ocean coastline in the northeastern section of South Carolina in Horry County. North Myrtle Beach was created in 1968 from four existing municipalities north of Myrtle Beach, and serves as one of the primary tourist towns along the Grand Strand. The area is divided into four separate areas based on its former municipalities. These are Windy Hill, Crescent Beach, Ocean Drive, and Cherry Grove, a spit bordering North Carolina. Atlantic Beach, which lies inside of North Myrtle Beach, chose to remain its own town during the merger. Millions of visitors come every year to enjoy the wide beaches, the warm weather and the family atmosphere. North Myrtle Beach is also becoming a permanent home for more and more people, as they discover just how much this community has to offer.
