North Myrtle Beach Area Guide
Discover North Myrtle Beach—home to championship golf, the legendary shag dance, and pristine beaches that offer a more relaxed coastal experience just minutes from all the Grand Strand action.
Where Beach Meets Southern Charm
North Myrtle Beach stretches along the northern end of the Grand Strand, offering a distinctive coastal experience that blends natural beauty with rich cultural heritage. Known as the birthplace of the shag dance, this area maintains its authentic beach town character while providing modern vacation amenities. The beaches here are wider and less crowded than central Myrtle Beach, making them perfect for families seeking space to spread out and enjoy the Atlantic.
Golf enthusiasts flock to North Myrtle Beach for world-class courses at Barefoot Resort, Tidewater Golf Club, and dozens of other championship layouts. The area also features excellent dining from casual seafood shacks to upscale oceanfront restaurants, shopping centers, and family attractions. Main Street in North Myrtle hosts beachfront shag clubs where you can dance the night away to beach music.
From the historic Cherry Grove Pier in the north to Ocean Drive beach clubs in the south, North Myrtle Beach offers diverse neighborhoods each with unique appeal. Browse our vacation rentals to find your perfect North Myrtle Beach home.
