Myrtle Beach Boardwalk
The boardwalk stretches from the Second Avenue Pier to the 14th Avenue Pier and features three different sections of varying width and shape. The first section, the North Walkway, extends from the 14th Avenue North Pier to Plyler Park at the end of Mr. Joe White Avenue. It features a raised wooden deck, with dune landscaping and vegetation, to create a serene, peaceful and natural environment and beach experience. The walkway in this section is eight feet wide with connecting pathways to beach access points.
The second section, the high-intensity portion of the boardwalk, extends from Plyler Park to Eighth Avenue North. This section adjoins beachfront stores and shops and invokes a carnival and nostalgia atmosphere with its sights, sounds and energy. This section ranges from 26 to 50 feet in width and features sidewalk cafes, arcades, amusements and more.
The third and final section of the boardwalk, the South Promenade, continues from Eighth Avenue North to First Avenue North, just south of the Second Avenue Pier. The South Promenade will be a linerl park promenade with benches and natural landscaping. This section offers exceptional views of the beach and relaxing recreational opportunities. Main walkways are 12 feet wide.
The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade provides visitors and residents with a wonderful pedestrian alternative to Ocean Boulevard, a great view of the beach and a fun place to stroll, dine, shop and play.
