The Myrtle Beach Area's Sister Cities

The Myrtle Beach area is known across the country as a premier family-friendly beach destination. That distinction comes from the Grand Strand's 60 miles of beautiful, sandy beaches, a wealth of affordable accommodations, wonderful attractions and top-notch live entertainment.
 

Now, the Myrtle Beach area is on the cusp of becoming a popular international destination by attracting tourists from all over the world.

Sister Cities International, a program founded by President Dwight Eisenhower, has helped in spreading the Myrtle Beach area's message. Through this partnership, the Grand Strand has been fortunate to renew and strengthen important global relationships with a number of communities all over the world.
