About North Myrtle Beach

North Myrtle Beach is a Horry County beach city about 15 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach. It was created in 1968 by combining several older beach communities, including areas such as Windy Hill and Cherry Grove. The city is part of the Grand Strand, with vacation rentals, golf, seafood restaurants, public beaches, and summer tourism shaping much of daily life. North Myrtle Beach feels a little more residential and spread out than Myrtle Beach, but it is still unmistakably a coastal resort town.
