Myrtle Beach Overview

Sometimes known as the “northernmost city in Florida,” Myrtle Beach is a popular vacation destination that attracts more than 14 million visitors a year. With only 30,000 permanent residents, it’s been compared to living in a small town with big city accommodations like hospitals and transportation. According to the 2010 Census, Myrtle Beach is the ninth-fastest-growing city in the US, with a projected 7,000 new households to be added from 2012 to 2017. Apartments in Myrtle Beach can allow you to enjoy the beach bum life right by the coast, or give you a chance to retire and downsize for a simpler life in the sun.

What is the history of Myrtle Beach?

The history of Myrtle Beach began when a timber firm first built a railroad to the beach on the Grand Strand around 1900. The first hotel was built in 1901 and in the 1920s the first oceanfront resort was created, including the area’s first golf course. It wasn’t until after World War II in the 1950s that Myrtle Beach became the vacation getaway it is today.

How is the weather in Myrtle Beach?

Perhaps the best part about Myrtle Beach is the weather. The area sees sun 60 percent of the time and the average temperatures in the summer are in the 80s. It rains the most in the summer, but generally the rain doesn’t last for more than an hour. In the winter, it rarely reaches below freezing for an entire day and the area usually gets less than an inch of snow per year.

How do I get around town?

You will want to have a car to get around Myrtle Beach. The area is a bit too long to comfortably walk. There is a bus service, but you might have to wait anywhere from half an hour to an hour for the next bus, and sometimes traffic keeps them from being on time. Uber drivers need to have commercial chauffeur’s licenses to operate legally in city limits, so this option is limited.

What is the Myrtle Beach commute like?

The average commuter in Myrtle Beach spends 30 hours a year in traffic, though the city is working on improving the roadways. In the meantime, there are three main highways. US 17, or the Kings Highway, runs from the North Carolina border to Georgetown. US 501 is the traditional “route to the beach” that gets busy during the summer months. SC 31 has no stoplights and can serve as a bypass through this congestion.

What are the local media outlets?

Myrtle Beach has three newspapers: the Myrtle Beach Herald, the Myrtle Beach Sun News, and the North Myrtle Beach Times. Its news stations are Fox 43, and NBC 32. It also has two radio stations: AM 1050 and FM 99.5.

Why live in Myrtle Beach, SC?

What Myrtle Beach landmarks should I see?

"Of course, Myrtle Beach is most known for its beach resorts, but it does come with historical landmarks as well. There are colonial plantations, a coastline once patrolled by Blackbeard, and even a park where you can check out the amusement park rides first put up half a century ago. Myrtle Beach is also home to Webster University and Coastal Carolina University. "

What is there to do around Myrtle Beach?

"Then there are the more famous attractions—Broadway at the Beach, the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel, multiple water parks, and Myrtle Beach State Park with a maritime forest and beach camping. If you would rather stay away from the more tourist-heavy attractions, there’s also a minor league baseball team, a speedway with NASCAR events, and plenty of golfing. "
