History
Myrtle Beach grew from early 20th‑century resort development and golf culture; Pine Lakes opened as the town’s first golf course and helped define the city’s tourism economy. During WWII the Grand Strand was placed under coastal vigilance against U‑boat activity and other threats.
Conservation
Beach and dune restoration are ongoing priorities on the Grand Strand; support local museums and stay on designated paths to reduce erosion and protect sensitive marshland.
