North Myrtle Beach, SC

Beach Day

North Myrtle Beach boasts 9 miles of a golden shoreline. For a relaxing time with your family, opt for Cherry Grove Beach, where you'll get gentle waves and the famous Cherry Grove Pier. For a livelier spot, head to the center of North Myrtle Beach: Ocean Drive. It's a lively hub for entertainment, and it's the beating heart of the area, bursting with restaurants, bars, and shag music. Staying at a resort on North Myrtle Beach? That puts you right in Crescent Beach. The beach is a secluded and quiet hideaway, but it's only a short walk from the entertainment and dining scene.

Alligator Adventure

For a thrilling wildlife experience, there's Alligator Adventure. Located right in the heart of North Myrtle Beach, the 15-acre zoo is home to over 800 alligators and 230 other species of animals. The park also offers a variety of live shows, like the jaw-dropping alligator live feedings to thrilling snake handling demonstrations. With close-up encounters and a snack bar with refreshments, it's a great way to entertain the family.

Go Carolina Shag Dancing

To capture the soul of local culture, go Carolina shag dancing. The Shag Dance has been the state dance of South Carolina since 1984! And if you don't know how to shag, Fat Harold's Beach Club has free lessons every Tuesday night. If you're here for longer and would like to perfect your shag style, there are paid classes every Monday night. Once you can master a few steps (or maybe you'd just like to watch), head over to OD Arcade & Lounge to shag dance. Other places you can join the fun and shag dance are the Spanish Galleon Night Club and Duck's Dance Club.

Top tips for renting a car in North Myrtle Beach


Driving in North Myrtle Beach is generally laid-back since it's a small city. However, given that it's a coastal tourist destination, traffic frequently gets congested. Here are some tips to keep in mind while navigating the city.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in North Myrtle Beach?


Speed limits are typically 25-35 miles per hour in residential and tourist areas, while they increase to 55-65 miles an hour on the highways. Because the city is a tourist destination, expect to see heavy traffic on weekends and holidays. Parking near the beach fills up quickly, so plan ahead if you're heading to the beach for the day. Weather plays a factor, too. The area experiences heavy tropical rainstorms in the summer, causing slick roads and flooding in low-lying areas.

Parking in North Myrtle Beach offers a mix of free, paid, and seasonal options. From March 1st through October 31st, seasonal rates apply from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Outside those hours, drivers can park for free.

If you're near Main Street, a city parking lot on the north side of Main Street offers free parking year-round.


Are there toll roads in North Myrtle Beach?


There are no toll roads in North Myrtle Beach or the surrounding areas. There are also no immediate plans to add toll roads in North Myrtle Beach or on any of the roads in South Carolina.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in North Myrtle Beach?


Most of the gas stations run parallel to Highway 17 N, such as Circle K and Shell. Drivers can also fuel up at gas stations along Highway 9. Drivers with electric vehicles can find recharging stations along Highway 17 N, too. Alternatively, they can use the PlugShare app to find dedicated charging stations.


Do I need to rent a car in North Myrtle Beach?


If you want flexibility, renting a car in North Myrtle Beach is a good idea. This will allow you to easily travel from your hotel to restaurants, entertainment venues, and golf courses. You can even explore neighboring towns, like Myrtle Beach and Little River.
