North Myrtle Beach is located just south of Little River, South Carolina. It encompases the area known as Atlantic Beach and is seperated from Myrtle Beach by the section called Briarcliffe Acres.

There are many different sections of North Myrtle Beach. These areas include Windy Hill, Crescent Beach, and Ocean Drive.

This area is rich in history and was the birthplace of the shag (the dance, not the hairstyle or the rug).
