The Pier at Garden City is 668 feet long. It's open from March until December, sometimes up to 24 hours a day. It regularly hosts live bands during the summer and draws many fishermen.

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's telephone number is 843-651-9700.
