Surfside Beach ~ A Family Beach

A Quieter Little Town...

Just south of the sometimes chaotic Myrtle Beach area, a quieter little town merges with its northern cousin to offer a slightly slower pace and a bit less neon. Surfside Beach has become a highly sought after rental and permanent housing market for precisely those reasons.

Here you’ll find great restaurants, a fantastic fishing pier, a water park, a live theater and all the sand and water you can imagine. You’ll also find plenty of condos and something Myrtle Beach doesn’t have – cottages. Renting by the sea is far more reminiscent of what Myrtle Beach was like before the boom of the 80’s and 90’s – wooden two and three story stilted beach homes and the kind of a place where kids wander down the street to get an ice cream cone unaccompanied. Also unlike Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach doesn’t have high rises!

With Plenty to Do!

Hard to find waterfront dining also makes Surfside’s beachfront all that much more appealing. Latitude 22 offers a fine Caribbean influenced menu in the 2nd story, open-air and breezy dining room, while River City Café is a kid-friendly, peanut shells-on-the-floor joint and it shares the same great ocean view as Latitude. Nibil’s, a favorite of locals, is right next door at the Surfside Beach fishing pier and offers everything from hot dogs to steaks to some of the best seafood on the South Strand! Bubba’s Fish Shack, across the street, offers a quirky, fun, family-friendly atmosphere, and their fried green tomatoes are to-die-for!

Legends in Concert has been a Surfside Beach favorite and features tribute artists, dancers and a fantastic live orchestra to accompany the talented sound-alike artists who perform using their own natural voices. The show changes every couple of months, so it can be revisited throughout the year!

With easy access to everything the Grand Strand area has to offer, plus plenty of its own style and content, Surfside Beach has quietly become an affordable and less hectic alternative to staying in Myrtle Beach – it’s no wonder it’s the Grand Strand’s favorite family beach!
