The Area

Getting to Know Cherry Grove & North Myrtle Beach

Cherry Grove sits at the quiet northern end of North Myrtle Beach, known for its wide beaches, tidal marsh views, and a slower pace than the busier tourist strips further south. The Cherry Grove Pier anchors the neighborhood, a favorite spot for a sunset walk or an early cast. Just a few minutes away, the rest of North Myrtle Beach opens up with Main Street's shops and restaurants, Vereen's Marina, and easy access to the Intracoastal Waterway. Together, the area blends small-town charm with everything a beach vacation needs close at hand.

North Myrtle Beach alone offers a great cluster of highly rated courses, many with morning tee times that pair perfectly with an afternoon at the beach. Many local pro shops can help set up tee times, club rentals, and multi-round packages for golf-focused groups.

Fishing

Cast a Line from the Pier or Out on the Water

Cherry Grove Pier is the easiest way to fish without leaving the neighborhood, open around the clock with rod rentals and bait available on site. It is a favorite for catching whiting, spot, and the occasional king mackerel run in season. For a bigger day on the water, Little River and Vereen's Marina both offer inshore and offshore charters out of nearby waterways, chasing everything from flounder and redfish to mahi and marlin further offshore. Whether you want a relaxed hour off the pier or a full charter, the fishing options here suit every level of angler.
