As families across the country finalize their spring break travel plans, one beach in North Myrtle Beach has received national recognition as one of the top five best beaches in the U.S..

Cherry Grove Beach, a beloved stretch of sand at the northernmost point of the Grand Strand, earned second place in a national ranking compiled by HomeToGo. It was the only South Carolina beach to make the top ten, standing alongside destinations in California, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and Delaware.

Renowned for its wide, inviting shoreline, gentle surf, and family-friendly atmosphere, Cherry Grove Beach continues to attract visitors looking for a quieter coastal retreat compared to the bustling shores farther south. Its iconic Cherry Grove Pier is a landmark for fishing, sightseeing, and stunning ocean views.

The list, featuring 35 beaches across the country, ranked Cherry Grove Beach alongside North Carolina’s Kure Beach in second place. Other South Carolina beaches, including Edisto Beach, Folly Beach, and Surfside Beach, were acknowledged further down the rankings.

With spring break just around the corner, Cherry Grove Beach’s well-deserved recognition highlights North Myrtle Beach as a premier vacation destination.
