North Myrtle Beach: Grand Strand Communities Merged in 1968
North Myrtle Beach was formed in 1968 by the merger of four smaller coastal towns: Cherry Grove, Ocean Drive, Crescent Beach, and Windy Hill. Each retained distinct neighborhood identities within the larger city, and the Ocean Drive section remains associated with the shag, the South Carolina state dance that developed at the Pavilion and along OD's dance club strip in the 1940s and 1950s. The Society of Stranders, a shag dancing organisation, holds its annual SOS gathering in the Ocean Drive section each spring and fall.
North Myrtle Beach offers a less dense form of the Grand Strand tourism experience than Myrtle Beach proper. Beach houses outnumber hotel towers along much of the shoreline, and the area draws a higher proportion of family rentals and return visitors. Barefoot Landing, a retail and entertainment complex built around a former cypress swamp, anchors the main commercial area along Highway 17.
