"Myrtle Beach is one of the East Coast's most recognizable resort cities, drawing millions of visitors each year to its stretch of Atlantic shoreline known as the Grand Strand. Yet beyond the tourism economy, this South Carolina city has grown into a full-time destination with a thriving hospitality and healthcare sector, a growing retail corridor, and Coastal Carolina University just a short drive away in nearby Conway. The city's identity is shaped by its coastal atmosphere, where the pace is relaxed, the weather leans subtropical, and the ocean is never far from view.
Neighborhoods like The Market Common, built on the grounds of a former Air Force base, offer a walkable, mixed-use feel with tree-lined streets and open green space. Grande Dunes draws those who want a marina-side setting, while the Boardwalk District puts residents right in the middle of the city's most energetic stretch of coastline.
