Find every public beach access point in Myrtle Beach with this interactive map
Just about everyone knows the Grand Strand is known for its beaches and its beach towns: Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island, Murrells Inlet and Surfside Beach.
But how you actually get onto the sand and into the surf is another question. Where, in fact, is the best beach in Myrtle Beach?
And once you know which beach to hit, other questions abound. Is there parking at the beach? Is there handicap access? Is your dog allowed?
And what about lifeguards? Concession stands? Can you take a bus to get there?
The Sun News has created the interactive map you see below to help answer all of those questions.
This map may even help you find the best beach Myrtle Beach has to offer, or even hidden beaches that few know about.
Zoom in on the area where you’re staying as you visit the Grand Strand to view each and every nearby beach access point. Click on the marker to see information about parking, amenities and other features of that particular location.
This data was compiled by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. If you have any problems viewing our map, you can view DHEC’s version of the beach access map here.
DHEC also publishes information about beach safety and the quality of the swimming water. You can view that information by viewing their beach safety map here.
