A quieter little town

Surfside Beach is a small seaside town in Horry County, South Carolina and is located adjacent to the southern end of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. “The Family Beach” is the nickname associated with the city, which has earned the moniker with a more tranquil setting than the bustling beaches to the north. Miles of uncrowded docile beaches await residents and tourists looking to relax, stroll alongside the whispering surf, or take advantage of the numerous activities of the Grand Strand.
