BeLocal Myrtle Beach is the OFFICIAL guide for new residents moving to the Myrtle Beach area. When I was growing up, I loved visiting my grandparents.
Written by locals, you will discover local favorite things to do, places to go and businesses to use! I'll never forget my grandfather driving us into town to buy fresh bread. The baker had his entire set up in the back of his house, and he'd supply Italian bread to all the local restaurants, but he would also sell individual loaves to whoever wanted it. I remember walking down this alley, thinking this wasn't the nicest area, but next thing I knew, we were walking away with several loaves of hot bread that smelled amazing. On the car ride home, we'd devour one or even two loaves, just because we couldn't wait. I remember asking my grandfather, "How did you find this place?" He said, "The longer you live in one city, you eventually learn the best places for everything. It just takes time." So rather than waste years trying to find the best businesses, our goal with BeLocal was to refer the best of the best of Myrtle Beach to you, all in one handy location. For example, when we moved here, finding great restaurants always seemed to be rather difficult and time-consuming. But with BeLocal, you can just go down the list, and hopefully you'll love those that we recommend. If you have kids, it's always nice to know where are the best places to go. And especially since we live in such a tourist area, it can be hard to decipher, is this really the most fun for kids, or do they simply have the most billboards in town? And now that you're in your new home, I'm sure there are things you'd like to improve or buy for your residence, but where's the best place to buy ... furniture or decorations ... or whatever. So as you look through the publication, we hope you'll enjoy learning about your new town and all that it has to offer.

The Myrtle Beach area has a wild side, too. 🐊 This , we’re celebrating the animals that share the Grand Strand and Lowcountry with us, including one of South Carolina’s most recognizable residents: the American alligator.
One of the best places to learn more about local wildlife is Brookgreen Gardens, where the Lowcountry Zoo features native species including alligators, river otters, owls, hawks, deer, foxes, and more. Wildlife also lives throughout the Gardens, so you never quite know what you might spot along the way.
Whether you’re new to the Myrtle Beach area or have called it home for years, National Wildlife Day is a great excuse to appreciate just how much nature surrounds us.
