Discover Garden City Beach, Surfside Beach & the Myrtle Beach Area

While it's true that the Myrtle Beach area (especially Garden City and Surfside Beaches!) offers its visitors one of the most beautiful stretches of sand in the world, let's face it: lots of places have pretty beaches. What exactly is it that makes the Myrtle Beach area so special? Is it the staggering volume of activities and attractions providing fun for all ages? The 1,800+ restaurants to choose from? (And no, that's not a misprint!) Maybe it's world-class shopping and entertainment. The truth is, it's all this and more… No wonder Myrtle Beach is referred to as "America's Beach Playground."

Relax and Explore in Garden City Beach

Garden City Beach embodies the perfect balance of peaceful coastal living and exciting outdoor activities. Most of Garden City Beach lies in Horry County with a small part in Georgetown County, so you’ll have to be mindful of the different beach regulations depending on where you choose to stay.

On the wide, sandy beaches you’ll see folks tossing a frisbee, enjoying a game of volleyball, and taking leisurely walks. If you want to spend your day on the water, Garden City Beach has ideal conditions for kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing for anglers of all experience levels. Nearby in Murrells Inlet, you can explore Brookgreen Gardens.
