North Myrtle Beach’s 40th Birthday – A bit belated!

Last Updated: August 31st, 2026

Before the next year rolls around, we thought it might be good to recognize that this year is North Myrtle Beach’s 40th birthday! The celebration was held back in May, making this post rather dated. However, the Grand Strand has made great strides in the past 40 years, building up Myrtle Beach as a top vacation destination in the United States!

You see, in 1968 North Myrtle Beach merged the four beach towns of Cherry Grove, Ocean Drive, Crescent Beach and Windy Hill that incorporated as North Myrtle Beach. Each of these sections still exist today, each with its own characteristics.

  1. I actually like north myrtle better than myrtle. Of course shopping is better in myrtle but there is less traffic and congestion in north. I usually stay in north myrtle when my family comes on vacation just for that reason.

  2. yeah, North Myrtle Beach is getting to be just as good a vacation spot as Myrtle Beach, I’ve seen other people too say they prefer it better.
