Each location has something different to offer, from laidback Pawleys Island to luxurious North Myrtle Beach to the family-friendly areas of Surfside Beach and Garden City.

The Grand Strand also features the Intracoastal Waterway, a combination of canals, rivers, and creeks that essentially make the Myrtle Beach area like an island. The waterway stretches from Little River all the way to Hilton Head Island. Locals and visitors alike drive over, shop near, eat near, and live near the waterway, no matter where they’re living or staying.
