The Grand Strand strectches about sixty miles along the South Carolina coast from the North Carolina border to Georgetown. Cities along The Strand include Myrtle Beach; North Myrtle Beach and Little River north; Surfside Beach, Garden City, Murells Inlet, Litchfield, Pawleys Island and Georgetown south; and Conway and Carolina Forest west.
While Myrtle Beach has long been known as a mecca for golfers and beach vacationers, the area has something for everyone. Miles of golden beaches provide for recreation while the hundreds of acres that have been established as wildlife preserve areas protect nature. Hundreds of restaurants as well as major attractions and venues provide for year around entertainment. The warm climate, coastal influence and low cost of living, have made it an attractive location for retirees, investors looking for lucrative beach rentals, and young families escaping the large expensive cities to raise their families in a comfortable lifestyle.
