Garden City Beach in South Carolina is a laid-back, family-friendly coastal destination that offers the perfect mix of beachside charm and classic seaside fun. Located just south of the more bustling Myrtle Beach and Surfside Beach areas, Garden City has long been cherished for its quiet atmosphere, gentle waves, and welcoming community vibe. It’s a place where vacationers can truly slow down, savor the moment, and reconnect with the simple pleasures of life by the sea.

Stretching out into the Atlantic Ocean from the south end of the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, this classic wooden pier invites visitors to enjoy a blend of relaxation, recreation, and scenic beauty in one of the most iconic settings along the Grand Strand.

North Myrtle Beach locals who want to unwind and relax off the beach head to the gorgeous, centrally located McLean Park. Located in the heart of the city, just 2 blocks west of Ocean Boulevard between 1st and 3rd Avenues, this sprawling natural respite can cater to a wide range of outdoor interests. From active kids and adults to visitors who just want to enjoy a pretty view and a breath of fresh air, this park proves that North Myrtle Beaches' world of outdoor fun extends past the ocean facing beaches.

It's impossible for oceanfront beach-goers to miss Myrtle Beaches' literal top attraction, the Myrtle Beach Skywheel.
