Cherry Grove Area Guide

A Classic Beach Town Experience

Cherry Grove represents the best of old-school beach vacations while offering modern comforts. Located at the northern tip of North Myrtle Beach near the North Carolina border, this tight-knit community has maintained its authentic character as surrounding areas have grown. The famous Cherry Grove Pier, rebuilt after Hurricane Hazel in 1954, serves as the heart of the community—a gathering place for fishermen, families, and anyone who loves watching pelicans dive and dolphins play in the Atlantic.

The beaches here are notably wide and less developed, offering plenty of space even during peak summer weeks. Families appreciate the gentle slope into the ocean, making it ideal for young swimmers and boogie boarders. The northern location means cooler temperatures in summer and spectacular sunrises year-round. Just beyond the beach, the Cherry Grove marsh provides kayaking, fishing, and wildlife viewing opportunities.

While Cherry Grove maintains its peaceful atmosphere, you're never far from entertainment and dining. Ocean Boulevard features local seafood restaurants, ice cream shops, and beach gear stores. A short drive south brings you to Main Street North Myrtle Beach with more shopping and nightlife, or head north to Calabash, NC for authentic Calabash-style seafood.
