Horry County, South Carolina

Horry Location Map South Carolina

Beaches, golf, and gators… That’s Horry County in a nutshell. This coastal gem sits in the northeastern corner of South Carolina, where the state meets the Atlantic.

Myrtle Beach is the star attraction, drawing millions of tourists each year to its sandy shores and boardwalk. But there’s more to Horry than just beach life. Inland, you’ll find quiet towns and sprawling farmland.

The Waccamaw River snakes through, perfect for kayaking or fishing. Locals love their seafood, especially the blue crabs. It’s a place of contrasts. Glitzy resorts are next to old-school diners, crowded beaches a stone’s throw from serene swamps.
