How many visitors come to the Grand Strand annually? More than 14 million visitors come to the Grand Strand every year, part of the reason it was voted America’s No. 1 summer destination by TripAdvisor in 2014. Other accolades include No. 1 Hot Spot for Winter Meetings (Convention South magazine), Best Restaurant Cities (Huffington Post), and Top 10 Places to Retire in S.C. (Mavoto).

Who were the first “locals” in Myrtle Beach? They were the Waccamaw and Winyah tribes. Who were the first “tourists” to the Myrtle Beach Area? Spanish settlers who sailed with Lucas Vasques de Allyon were the first. They founded the first colony just south of the Cape Fear River but the settlement was wiped out by disease within the first year. Future tourists found better fortune.

What was a popular spot for pirates in the early 1700s including the legendary Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard. Long Bay, the crescent-shaped coast that runs from the Cape Fear River in North Carolina to Georgetown was the spot to be! Pirates used to hide out in the inlets and attack ships transporting treasure. Blackbeard eventually met his doom in Cape Fear.

What was the first name Myrtle Beach was given? Myrtle Beach used to be known as “New Town” until the local newspaper sponsored a contest to officially name the area. Mrs. F.E. Burroughs, the wife of the founder of Burroughs & Collins that developed the area, won with the name she chose for the many wax myrtle trees growing on the coast – not crepe myrtle, as is popularly believed.

What was the first hotel in Myrtle Beach? * The first hotel in Myrtle Beach was the Seaside Inn. Built in 1901 at the bargain price of $3,800, the Seaside Inn had no electricity or indoor plumbing, but for just $2 per overnight stay guests got three square meals, a roof over their heads and easy access to the beach – the same thing that brings people back more than a century later.
