Surf Garden City Pier

Garden City Pier - South Carolina Garden City Pier features a beach break with both right and left waves over a sandy bottom. The surf is characterized by fast and ordinary power, best enjoyed during mid to high tide with a rising tide. The spot is accessible within a five-minute walk and is located south of Myrtle Beach on Hwy 17 By-pass S. This popular surf destination attracts a mix of surfers, particularly in the summer months when crowds swell. While the surf can be average and crumbly at times, it offers fun waves when conditions align, especially with southeast or northeast swells. The atmosphere is generally friendly, though localism can be present, particularly on the south side. Be mindful of rips and rocks, and respect the local surfers to enjoy a laid-back session. Off-season, the crowd thins, providing more space to catch waves.
