Garden City Live Cam

Garden City is a coastal community located in Horry County, South Carolina, USA. It is situated along the Atlantic Ocean, just south of Myrtle Beach. The history of Garden City is closely tied to the development and growth of the Grand Strand, which refers to the 60-mile stretch of beach along the South Carolina coast.

The area that now encompasses Garden City was once primarily swampland and marshes. In the early 20th century, developers saw the potential for tourism and began to transform the landscape. The Seaside Inn, which opened in 1927, is often considered the first major establishment in Garden City. This signaled the beginning of the area's development as a beach destination.

Garden City's name is believed to have originated from the planned garden-like atmosphere that developers envisioned for the community. They aimed to create a pleasant, landscaped environment that would appeal to visitors and residents alike.
