The Grand Strand
The Grand Strand or Long Bay refers to a large
stretch of beaches extending from Calabash, North Carolina to
Georgetown, South Carolina. It consists of 60+ miles along an
essentially uninterrupted arc of beach land, beginning around
Little River, South Carolina and terminating at Winyah Bay. Calabash
is generally included in The Grand Strand per convention, but
is not geographically part of Long Bay.
The Grand Strand has become a major tourist attraction
along the Southeastern coast, with its primary city, Myrtle Beach,
attracting over ten million visitors each season. It is home to
festivals and events, family activities and amusements, theaters
and nightlife, golfing, restaurants; fishing, diving and water
sports, shopping, parks, horseback riding along with sports and
fitness, making it popular with families and college students
in the summer and snowbirds during the winter.
