Let's clear up the difference between the two cities (most first-time visitors may believe North Myrtle Beach is a northern part of the City of Myrtle Beach). Both are separate cities and part of the Grand Strand, which is several cities, towns, and unincorporated areas along the coast from the NC-SC state line at the north end, to Murrells Inlet in Georgetown County on the south end. ( see map ) The City of North Myrtle Beach, incorporated in 1968 by the four beach towns of Cherry Grove, Ocean Drive, Crescent Beach and Windy Hill, is a northern section of the Grand Strand, and considered a bit more family oriented and quieter than its more famous sister city to the south. The two cities touch boundaries near Restaurant Row and Barefoot Landing.
