The pier has a tackle shop as well as an arcade and a small cafe. It is an old-fashioned, laid back place. At the end is a covered shelter where you can have a drink and listen to music on weekends. There is no fee to walk out on the pier, but you do have to buy a ticket to fish.

Garden City Beach is an unincorporated community located partially in Horry County and partially in Georgetown County. Since it’s only eight miles south of Myrtle Beach, it’s a popular day trip for many vacationing families.

Learn more about the Garden City Pier at their official site. The pier is located at 110 South Waccamaw Drive, and the telephone number is 843-651-9700.

SCIWAY thanks Larry Dent of Spartanburg County for sharing this picture he took in February 2006.

Larry writes, “My wife and I go there to take ‘a few days off’ two or three times a year, but the sunset will not be ignored. In the summertime, the sunset shifts farther north and sinks behind the marina. The view was great from the fourth floor balcony, but this photo was taken from the walkway by the boat slips. I hope those who visit SCIWAY enjoy the view as much as we do.”
