Quick Facts

History & Context

North Strand Cherry Grove, just south of Little River, is one of several communities that comprise North Myrtle Beach. (Sea Mountain Highway is the only way into Cherry Grove, so watch the signs carefully.) Cherry Grove has its share of oceanfront condominiums and motels, but away from the ocean you'll find rows of stilted houses lining serpentine channels and inlets. Many Cherry Grove residents and tourists handpick this section of the Strand because they relish the special joys of catching, cleaning and cooking their own seafood. On the ocean side of Hogg Inlet is Waties Island, a pristine piece of land donated to Coastal Carolina University's internationally renowned marine biology department. In years past, archaeologists found mysterious mounds of shells here. Although no one is certain about the history of these mounds, researchers have discovered enough pottery and well-worn arrowheads to ascertain that Native Americans once inhabited the island. Consequently, it is widely believed that the mounds were shaped by Indian hunters who pursued schools of mullet and spot up and down the coast.
