Quick Facts

History & Context

South Strand Unofficially, the South Strand includes Surfside Beach, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, Litchfield Beach and Pawleys Island. Compared to the rest of the Grand Strand, the South Strand subscribes to a more leisurely pace and lifestyle. Many praise this stretch of land rich with marshland, uninhabited beaches, bountiful inlets and maritime forest as the Carolina coast's finest treasure. Surfside Beach was incorporated on March 14, 1964, with 881 residents. Today, the town's year-round population is more than 4,000. Immediately adjacent to Myrtle Beach and most like it in nature, Surfside Beach is growing by leaps and bounds, and traffic is more than a little frustrating during peak season. In recent years, Surfside's roads and its water and sewer systems have been completely modified. The town plans to construct a new police station and public works building and improve the Town Complex Administration Building. In addition, a new branch of the Horry County Library is nearing completion at Fuller Park. U.S. Highway 17 in Surfside is lined with restaurants, beachwear shops, attractions and retail areas.
