💡 Tips

Walk out on the iconic Cherry Grove Pier; there's a small admission fee if you just want to sightsee without fishing.
Rent a kayak or paddleboard to explore the calm salt marshes on the inlet side during high tide.
Parking near 'The Point' is extremely limited and mostly residential, so plan to walk or bike there.
Pay close attention to tide charts, as the beach width and inlet currents change dramatically with the tides.

Cherry Grove Beach is one of the most appealing neighborhoods in North Myrtle Beach, particularly popular with anglers and nature lovers. The area's landmark is the Cherry Grove Pier, which extends far into the Atlantic, offering panoramic views of the coastline. The beach is wide and clean, good for family activities. Unique to Cherry Grove are the channels and salt marshes on the back side of the peninsula, providing well-suited conditions for kayaking and paddling. The adjacent Futch Beach is located at the tip of the peninsula where the Little River Inlet meets the ocean, making it a quieter spot for nature observation. Cherry Grove has a relaxed residential atmosphere with many classic stilt houses. Local gastronomy gives excellent seafood, often with waterfront views. Shopping and entertainment can be found in the nearby center of North Myrtle Beach. The region is easily accessible via Highway 17 and the Robert Edge Parkway, making Cherry Grove a convenient spot for a relaxing vacation that combines nature and beach life.
