Surfside
Beach.
Often called "The Family Beach," Surfside Beach is a charming, walkable coastal community with a strong sense of local identity and a laid-back small-town feel.
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.
