Springmaid Pier, located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is a historic landmark and popular tourist attraction. Its history dates back to the early 1950s when it was constructed as a part of the Springmaid Beach Resort, which was established by the Springs Mills company.

The pier was originally built in 1953 and quickly became a focal point for visitors to the Springmaid Beach Resort.
