Small-Town Charms & Big-Time Attractions
Located on the northern end of the Grand Strand, North Myrtle Beach is home to tons of hotels and condos, restaurants, and attractions.

Take a long walk on our nine miles of beaches, soak up the sun and scenery, and create wonderful memories for yourself and your family.
It takes just about a 30-minute drive on Highway 17 to reach the seaside town of North Myrtle Beach from the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach. Once you arrive, you’re near some of the most relaxing beaches along the Grand Strand, including Atlantic, Crescent, and Cherry Grove Beach. Plus, you’ll enjoy convenient access to the Intracoastal Waterway. The winding inlet offers hours of fun via jet ski rentals, dolphin cruises, and some of the best fishing charters in the area.
Take a break from the water and hit the links in North Myrtle Beach. These are some of the most popular golf courses across the Grand Strand. You can spend hours at these courses, from the championship greens to the gorgeous estate clubhouses, and never feel bored. Select hotels offer golf packages with the best tee times for their guests to enjoy.
After spending a day in the South Carolina Lowcountry, head into town for an entertaining treat. Free concerts are held throughout the summer downtown and at McLean Park. Enjoy an evening with family and friends listening to live music, picnicking, and playing in a safe and fun environment. Make sure to bring a beach chair, blanket, food, and non-alcoholic beverages for your day lounging on the lawn.
Some of the most notable attractions include Barefoot Landing, Alabama Theatre, and Alligator Adventure. These family-friendly venues offer hours of fun. Barefoot Landing is situated right on the Intracoastal Waterway and is home to top shops and restaurants. Alabama Theatre hosts concerts and theatrical performances all year long but is especially known for The South’s Grandest Christmas Show. Thrill seekers will get a kick out of the prehistoric gators and crocs on display at Alligator Adventure.
