Myrtle Beach is a coastal resort city in Horry County, South Carolina, United States. It is the de facto hub of both the Myrtle Beach metropolitan area and the Grand Strand, a complex of beach towns and barrier islands stretching from Little River to Georgetown, South Carolina. Arising from a getaway for lumber workers from Conway, Myrtle Beach has rapidly developed into a major tourist destination in the Southeastern United States.
It is situated mainly between the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway on the west and the Atlantic Ocean (Long Bay) on the East, although building west of the waterway is rapidly increasing. Much of the area between the coast and the waterway is a slightly elevated sandbar or dune area.
The Intracoastal Waterway is a 4,800 km waterway along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States. Some lengths consist of natural inlets, salt water rivers, bays, and sounds; others are man made canals. The waterway runs the length of the Eastern Seaboard (Maine to Miami, Florida), from its unofficial northern terminus at the Manasquan River in New Jersey, where it connects with the Atlantic Ocean at the Manasquan Inlet, to Brownsville, Texas. The waterway is toll-free, but commercial users pay a fuel tax that is used to maintain and improve it. The ICW is a significant portion of the Great Loop, a circumnavigation route encircling the Eastern half of the North American continent.
The Grand Strand area receives a large influx of visitors during the spring, summer and fall months, it has had with over ten million tourists visiting Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas.
Myrtle Beach has been home to sports teams such as the the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, who have been a Carolina League baseball team and have been a Atlanta Braves farm franchise, and the Myrtle Beach Thunderboltz, who have been a ECHL hockey team. But in the USA sports team often move to other towns.
The first major route into the Myrtle Beach area, U.S. Route 17, ran from the North Carolina border to the Myrtle Beach area and turned west and north into Conway. The road was named in 1933, and US 17 was extended into South Carolina a year later. The road from Myrtle Beach to Conway was later renamed US 501 in a complicated route that roughly followed the current Broadway Street, Highway 15, Seaboard Street, Robert Grissom Parkway, Highway 544, and Business US 501.
