What the Coast Remembers

Grand Strand Story Network logo with Our Mission sign

Myrtle Beach is often spoken about — but rarely listened to.

Beneath the noise, the lights, and the seasons, there is a deeper rhythm here. One shaped by families, workers, visitors who stayed, and moments that didn’t make the brochures but stayed in memory.

Myrtle Beach Story exists to hold space for those memories — not to define the city, but to listen to it. This is a place for reflection, belonging, and remembering what made Myrtle Beach feel like more than a destination.


What This Is

This site is part of the Grand Strand Story Network, a shared effort to preserve the living history of the communities that make up the Grand Strand.

Myrtle Beach’s story is layered — shaped by change, resilience, and generations of people who lived their lives between the ocean and the everyday.
