Since Myrtle Beach is so big, are there sub areas within the Strand?
There are. The South Strand is made up of Georgetown, Pawleys island, Litchfield and Murrells Inlet. Known for its surroundings more than any other part of the beach, the South Strand is very scenic. Many of this areas best tracts were built on rice plantations and are marshy, shotmakers’ courses. The inland part of Myrtle Beach is known as the 501 corridor. It is made up of East Conway and the western portion of The Strand. The 501 Corridor is packed with fast-food restaurants, strip malls and golf outlets. The Central Strand is made up of the heart of Myrtle Beach, as well as small beach towns like Surfside. The atmosphere is like that of a beach town, with plenty of beach bars and restaurants and lots of condos. The North Strand is made up of Brunswick County beaches and the inland cities of Shallotte and Clabash.
