City overview
The Grand Strand is sixty miles of South Carolina beach running from North Myrtle Beach down through Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach and Murrells Inlet to Pawleys Island. It's one of the East Coast's classic family beach destinations, known for oceanfront resorts, the Boardwalk and SkyWheel, more than a hundred golf courses, and the seafood docks and salt marsh of Murrells Inlet. Jewish life centres on Myrtle Beach itself. Chabad of Myrtle Beach runs a daily minyan and a mikvah, and Beth-El Orthodox Sephardic Congregation has davened here since the 1970s. A Chabad-supervised kosher restaurant and a supermarket kosher section cover the basics.
