Myrtle Beach Boardwalk & Promenade

Myrtle Beach's new Oceanfront Boardwalk is open for your enjoyment. The 1.2 mile-long Boardwalk and Promenade traverses through the sand from the 14th Avenue to 2nd Avenue Piers in Myrtle Beach. The boardwalk provides oceanfront views of the pristine beachline, numerous shops and restaurants along its path, and is divided into three different sections:

  • The northernmost portion winds down from the 14th Avenue North Pier to Plyler Park.
  • The mid-section is located from Plyler Park to the former Pavilion Amusement Park site at 8th Avenue North and encompasses more of a carnival-like atmosphere with oceanfront dining and businesses.
  • The southernmost end of the boardwalk leading up to the 2nd Avenue pier has a meandering oceanfront park.
