Make the Most of Your Surfside Beach Stay

A quieter coastal alternative

Surfside Beach earns its "Family Beach" nickname through deliberate design rather than marketing speak. This two-mile stretch of South Carolina coastline maintains a residential character that stands apart from the high-energy tourism of neighboring Myrtle Beach. The town enforces architectural standards requiring traditional coastal forms—wood siding, contrasting trim, gabled roofs—creating visual cohesion along Ocean Boulevard. As the world's first certified autism-friendly travel destination, Surfside Beach demonstrates its commitment to inclusive hospitality through trained staff and thoughtfully designed public spaces.

Dining and the rebuilt pier

The recently reconstructed fishing pier, which reopened in 2024 after Hurricane Matthew's destruction, serves as the town's social anchor. This 814-foot structure offers fishing stations and casual dining with unobstructed Atlantic views. Beyond the pier, you'll find polished options like Valentino Italian Restaurant, serving lobster ravioli and veal in a setting more refined than typical beach fare. Most attractions cluster along Surfside Drive, where local restaurants and Veterans Memorial Park create a walkable downtown corridor.

Practical considerations

Myrtle Beach International Airport sits just minutes north. While Coast RTA provides bus service, rental cars prove most efficient for excursions to nearby Brookgreen Gardens or Charleston. Beachfront hotels along Ocean Boulevard position you steps from the shore, with easy access to Murrells Inlet's MarshWalk dining scene and Georgetown's historic waterfront.
