Myrtle Beach, Coastal resort city in South Carolina, US
This oceanfront city extends along 60 miles of Atlantic shoreline, featuring white sand beaches and numerous entertainment complexes throughout the Grand Strand region.
The area transformed from a small settlement named New Town in the early 1900s to an incorporated city in 1936, growing steadily after a railroad connection.
The Carolina Country Music Fest brings thousands of attendees to multiple stages near the beach, presenting national performers and regional musicians each summer.
The Myrtle Beach International Airport serves multiple direct flights, while the city contains over 1,800 dining establishments and 86 golf courses for visitors.
The Intracoastal Waterway completely separates Myrtle Beach from mainland United States since 1936, creating a distinct barrier island environment.
