North-Myrtle-Beach is located on the 60 miles of beachfront that makes up The Grand Strand. In 1968, the four small beach towns of Cherry Grove Beach, Windy Hill Beach, Crescent Beach and Ocean Drive Beach joined together to form the city of North Myrtle Beach. This area is known for its endless stretch of wide, white sandy beaches that are generally less crowded and quieter than neighboring Myrtle Beach. The exception may be in April and September when Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach is host to two, week long "migrations" of "shaggers." This is the birthplace of the Shag, the official South Carolina State Dance. Sponsored by the SOS (Society of Stranders) group, this event brings thousands of devotees to Main Street to shag, party and visit with old friends. (The dance has been called a cross between the jitterbug and swing dancing.) Other activities to enjoy in North Myrtle Beach include swimming, sunning, shelling, boating, kayaking, and scuba diving, parasailing and windsurfing. Cherry Grove Beach is known to have some of the best fishing on the Grand Strand and there are over 80 golf courses in the North Myrtle Beach area. Main Street is the place to shop in North Myrtle Beach with its' unique boutiques and family owned businesses. Ocean Drive is where you'll find the post office, library, many national retailers and fast food restaurants, and Windy Hill Beach is located near the world famous Barefoot Landing shopping resort.

North Myrtle Beach Weather & Climate

Coastal North Carolina has a temperate climate with no extreme temperature variations. Summer air temperatures along the immediate coastline are usually considerably lower than those even a few miles inland. Opposite the ocean, across the narrow barrier islands behind most beaches, are the "Sounds". These protected inland waters are calm, quiet and sheltered from the sea breezes. In winter, the Gulf Stream helps moderate air temperature and coastal fronts are common, bringing warmer than expected temperatures to the coastal areas. Sometimes, strong low-pressure systems clash with the Gulf Stream and develop into major storms, causing rain along the coast and over states to the north as well. Tropical hurricanes come close enough to North Carolina to influence the weather about twice in an average year.
