July 4th Vacations in North Myrtle Beach

Do you take your family on vacation during July 4th to North Myrtle Beach? For the majority of the merchants in NMB, this week is likely the biggest one yet. Some businesses around the US take that week off and require their staff to take a vacation during that time. The summer prime season is currently in full swing. That week, there is a lot of demand for fantastic beach vacation homes. Since July 4th in 2022 falls on a Monday, you would need to start your vacation week on Saturday, July 2nd, if you wanted to attend the fireworks in NMB. Many families have already reserved that week for their vacation, as far as we know. Call us right away if you’re still considering going to the beach for the Fourth of July.  The best homes and condos may already be taken that week.

Fireworks in Cherry Grove

Each year, fireworks are set off from the Cherry Grove Pier. Oceanfront homes and resort condos in Cherry Grove put you right in front of the action. You can expect the show to begin around 9:30 pm and go on for about 30 minutes. If you are playing in the sand and water that day, be ready to stay for one of the best fireworks shows in the Grand Strand. If you are staying with us, please share some pictures with us on our Grand Strand Vacations facebook page or send them to us via email. Updates are usually posted on the City of North Myrtle Beach Website

It is important that you are aware that the use of personal fireworks within the city limits of North Myrtle Beach is against the law. We ask that you stay safe and enjoy the free show that is being put on by the city at the Cherry Grove Pier.

Salute from the Shore

The Salute from the Shore is an event that takes place on July 4th and is one of the highlights of the day. People visiting the state as well as those who live there assemble on the sand each year at the same time to watch airplanes fly over the coast of South Carolina. If you are staying in the Cherry Grove area, you should make it a point to be in the vicinity of the beach no later than one in the afternoon. The flyover schedule may be seen on their Facebook page under the name SalutefromtheShore, and additional information can be found on their website under the same name, Salute from the Shore.
