Is North Myrtle Beach a Sleepy, Quaint, Fishing Village or a Tourist Mecca?
The answer is: BOTH!
With water taking up much of Cherry Grove Beach, and homes perched on top of canals a la Venice, Italy, this part of North Myrtle Beach is still reminiscent of the past, when shagging was the most exciting thing happening here and fishing was the other hobby. A single family home starts in the $ 300,000's, still a bargain compared to other coastal areas. With high end projects such as "Prince Resort", parts of Cherry Grove is starting to resemble the illustrious South Beach. With prices in the $ 200,000's for an oceanfront condo in this famed project, this is still a good entry level vacation home for the average investor.

Ocean Drive: with majestic million dollar homes and wide stretches of fine sand, Ocean Drive and Tilghman Estates sport the most enticing environment for the privileged few who can afford the luxury. The Surf Club, the famous Beach Country Club takes many acres of this beautiful place, but the average Joe can still make do with a nice Oceanfront condo at Avista Resort for under the $ 200,000 mark.

North Myrtle Beach's Main Street, the Shagging Capital of The World is where you'll find the famous "Fat Harold's", the Place to be and be seen if you are quick on your feet - as in dancing, of course... With quaint little shops and vibrant pubs, evenings here are quite ebullient. The Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, the St. Patrick's Day Parade and many other events take place here, the heart of North Myrtle Beach, the nucleus of activity of this place.
Crescent Beach, to the south of Main Street is a mix of small condo buildings along side beach homes and huge concrete and steel structures. Here you'll find the popular Baywatch Resort, a three tower complex on the sand with superb amenities.
Atlantic Beach, only four blocks wide is morphing rapidly. Much of the oceanfront has been recently transacted and awaiting development.
The southernmost part of North Myrtle Beach is Windy Hill Beach, a wide stretch of Beach, densely populated with large condo projects and the occasional beach home. This is where Beach Cove resides and where the new multi million dollar development encompassing 50 acres of prime land is currently under construction. Known as North Beach Plantation, this is a high end project, where a 5 Bedroom oceanfront condo is selling for the not so paltry price of over two million. Within walking distance of Barefoot Landing and only a few minutes away from Colonial Mall, Tanger Outlets and Restaurant Row, Windy Hill is in the center of it all. The famous Alabama Theater and The House of Blues reside right across the street, within Barefoot Landing.
