Cherry Grove:
North Myrtle Beach is more about small towns with stretches of similar sandbars than specific breaks. It’s not home to South Carolina’s best spots, and once you get south of Cherry Grove, it becomes the armpit of the South Carolina coast. Lined with strip joints, pawnshops, all-you-can-eat pig-out palaces and golf megalomarts, the place is a tacky, traffic nightmare. Avoid it if you can, and pray for the future of mankind if you can’t.
The farthest north you can get, Cherry Grove is a quiet little town near the state line, and has similar sandbars at the end of every block. It gets better south-swell energy than most of the Myrtle Beach area, and can be counted on for waves when northeasterlies run along the coast, as well.
