About Surfside Beach

Small-town charm
on the coast.


Surfside Beach is one of the smallest incorporated beach towns on the Grand Strand, with a population of approximately 5,000 year-round residents. It earned its nickname as "The Family Beach" for its quiet atmosphere, family-oriented events, and manageable scale.

The town offers direct beach access, a growing restaurant scene along Highway 17 Business, and a revitalizing downtown area. Its location between Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet makes it a convenient home base for anyone who wants to enjoy the entire Grand Strand.

For homebuyers, Surfside Beach offers more affordable coastal living than many of its neighbors, with a mix of beach cottages, newer construction, and modest single-family homes. It's a favorite among young families, retirees, and vacation-home investors.
