North Myrtle Beach Times

Welcome to North Myrtle Beach and the newspaper serving our community and the Grand Strand for 38 years,
the North Myrtle Beach Times.

If you ask anyone living in this beautiful city why they are here you will get a lot of answers. But top on the list will be the incredible people, a caring community and small town feeling.

In 1968 four small, beach towns—Cherry Grove, Ocean Drive, Crescent Beach and Windy Hill—came together to form the City of North Myrtle Beach. Today the city is a vibrant force along the South Carolina coast known as the Grand Strand. With nine -miles of wide, sandy beaches, in-shore and off-shore fishing, marinas, the best accommodations and a family feeling, it's no wonder North Myrtle Beach welcomes three million visitors a year—many who return to live here.

In 1972 Polly Lowman decided it was time the city had its own newspaper and the North Myrtle Beach Times was born. Eighteen years later she expanded, adding the Loris Times to serve northwestern Horry County.

North Myrtle Beach is considered the home of beach music and the Shag, the state dance, and Main Street is home to the annual SOS pilgrimage. The city and the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce host many annual festivals and the July 4th fireworks extravaganza. Our neighbor, Little River is a boating destination along the Intracoastal Waterway.

Over 20,000 people read The Times every week and we are here to support the community. We hope you find the information you’re looking for, if not call us to subscribe.
