Welcome to Garden City Beach

If you've never visited Garden City Beach, we hope you'll spend a few minutes enjoying one of the greatest beaches on the Atlantic Ocean. Garden City Beach is bordered on the north by Surfside Beach and on the south by Murrells Inlet and is situated in the southern half of The Grand Strand about midway between Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island. It continues its heritage as a laid back family vacation favorite of those visiting the South Carolina coast each year.

Located 15 miles south of Myrtle Beach, SC, Garden City Beach is bordered on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the west by Murrells Inlet, an old fishing village with some of the best seafood restaurants in the world.

About This Web Site

When you visit our web site, you may be surprised to learn what transpires before a web page ever displays. First, our server contacts both the National Weather Service and WX.com and downloads current weather information for you to compare. Next, Yahoo's RSS News Feeds and Stocks.com are queried for current national and international news, sports, and entertainment headlines as well as current stock market data. Then our database server is accessed to obtain current tide, sunrise, and sunset information from our 100-year information repository for the nearest pier on the Atlantic Ocean. Finally, the web page you are viewing is assembled specifically for the domain you requested so that you always receive our specific recommendations for the Grand Strand area of particular interest to you. This entire process typically takes less than five seconds.

If any of the webcams appear to be down when you visit, it usually is caused by one of two things. Either the camera is resetting in which case you can just come back in about 15 minutes and all will be well. Or you may be one of the unfortunate few with a Microsoft browser that no longer supports Java in which case you can easily install Java yourself from here.

Thanks for visiting with us. We hope you'll tell your friends and come back often. --Ward Mundy
