Hotels Near the Ocean Drive Section of North Myrtle Beach
Beach music is the soundtrack of this historic community in North Myrtle Beach. Located at the horseshoe at the end of Main Street and the crest of the sea-blue Atlantic, Ocean Drive is the birthplace of South Carolina’s state dance, the Shag, which started in the local dance clubs in the 1960s when young visitors twisted the summer nights away. Those same clubs are still the hubs of the OD dance scene — Duck’s, Fat Harold’s, the Spanish Galleon and more, including biannual shag conventions and “SOS” (Save Our Shag) gatherings. By day, visitors can enjoy family fun (McLean Park, OD Arcade) or enjoy the white-sand beaches of Ocean Drive. To soak up all OD has to offer, stay at one of these conveniently close hotels:
