North Myrtle Beach encompasses four historic beach communities — Cherry Grove, Ocean Drive, Crescent Beach, and Windy Hill — with a combined permanent population of approximately 19,000 that swells dramatically during tourist season. The city’s stretch of US-17 carries both local commuters and millions of annual visitors, creating dangerous conditions at major intersections.
The SC-9 and SC-57 intersection near the Little Rock area recorded the highest collision count in all of Horry County between 2020 and 2024. Main Street in the Ocean Drive section is particularly dangerous for pedestrians during the shag dancing season and summer months. Roden Law serves all of North Myrtle Beach from our Murrells Inlet office. Call (843) 612-1980 for a free case review.
