The Cherry Grove Pier, at the north end of North Myrtle Beach, spent 2023 as a construction site and came back in March 2024. This page's four films tell that whole arc in order — which makes it less a tour than a short documentary about a neighborhood getting its pier back.

What’s Newly Opened in North Myrtle Beach, SC! The Cherry Grove Fishing Pier is NOW BACK OPEN! 2024!

Beachin with the Boones

The Cherry Grove Fishing Pier is back: the Boones film the pier in March 2024, freshly reopened after the long rebuild that kept it closed through 2023. Anglers are already fishing and walkers are out on the deck; the hosts check what is open, talk to people fishing, and take in the pier as a working fishing pier again.

Key takeaways
  • Filmed at the pier's reopening in March 2024, after its full rebuild
  • Fishing and sightseeing both back underway on day one
  • The pier anchors the Cherry Grove end of North Myrtle Beach

August 2023: the in-between

The first film is a status check during the closure: the pier itself shut and rebuilding, the gift shop open, anglers waiting. It also records the practical side of a visit then — the nearby public parking garage charging $3 an hour in season, as filmed.

November 2023: the rebuild rises

Three months later the Boones walk the construction site and find the new structure risen almost to the height of the pier building — the middle chapter, with lunch down the beach at the Driftwood Bar and Grill.

March 2024: back open

The reopening film says it in the title: the pier is back. Anglers are fishing and walkers are out on the deck on day one. A summer driving tour of Ocean Boulevard then stops at the reopened pier as one of the boulevard's landmarks, in among the Cherry Grove rental streets it serves.
