Myrtle Beach's economy is built on tourism — 20 million annual visitors, 100+ golf courses, and 60+ miles of Atlantic shoreline make the Grand Strand one of the most visited beach destinations on the East Coast. The county economy was a $18.0 billion engine (2023 estimate). Unemployment ran at 3.8% through 2024, against a state rate of 4.1%. South Carolina is a right-to-work state.

What anchors the Myrtle Beach economy

  • Horry County School District.
  • Coastal Carolina University.
  • Horry County Government.
  • Conway Medical Center.

Beyond the headlines

The economy reaches into Real Estate & Construction, Healthcare Delivery, Education, and Golf & Recreation Economy. Myrtle Beach is corporate home to HTC (Horry Telephone Cooperative) — Conway, SC; largest independent telecom in SC and Burroughs & Chapin Company — Myrtle Beach, SC; founding real estate development company of the Grand Strand. The single largest taxpayer in the county is Resort and hospitality property owners (combined).
