Fishing on the Grand Strand comes in three forms — pier, charter boat and headboat — and this guide's films cover all of them, starting with the fastest orientation there is.

We Toured ALL 8 Myrtle Beach Piers in 3 Hours!

Beachin with the Boones

The grand tour: the Boones visit all eight Grand Strand fishing piers in under three hours, starting at Garden City and working the coast — Garden City, Surfside, Second Avenue, Pier 14, Springmaid, the State Park pier, Apache and Cherry Grove. Pier 14's segment puts the Boardwalk pier in its family of piers; the film is the fastest orientation to pier-hopping the Strand there is.

Key takeaways

  • Pier 14 covered as the Boardwalk stop on the route
  • A useful comparison of what each pier offers anglers and walkers

Little River, SC: Fishing Charters and Dolphin Tours with Hurricane Fleet | Myrtle Moments

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Visit Myrtle Beach interviews Captain Cameron Sebastian, owner-operator of the Hurricane Fleet and Coastal Scuba in Little River. He tells how the town began as a sleepy fishing village in the 1930s and grew into the Grand Strand's charter-fishing capital, and what a day on the water — deep-sea fishing, dolphin cruising or diving — looks like from the Little River docks.

Key takeaways
  • ["Little River began as a fishing village in the 1930s","The Hurricane Fleet runs fishing charters and dolphin cruises from the town docks","Charter fishing is the village's signature activity"]

Myrtle Beach, SC State Park Fishing Pier Tour 2026 – What to see on your Vacation!

Beachin with the Boones

Beachin' with the Boones spend a day at Myrtle Beach State Park: they walk the fishing pier with its coin viewfinders (Springmaid and Surfside piers visible down the coast), dodge the carpenter bees, watch planes on final approach overhead, and show the beach, ramps and park atmosphere that keep locals coming back to this wooded oceanfront park.

Key takeaways
  • The park's pier has classic coin-operated viewfinders aimed at neighboring piers
  • A newer sloped ramp improved wheelchair access from the pier area
  • The park sits under the airport flight path — plane-spotting is part of the experience

The piers

The Boones tour all eight Grand Strand piers in under three hours, Garden City to Cherry Grove, comparing what each offers anglers and walkers. Individual pier films then go deep: Myrtle Beach State Park's pier with its coin viewfinders and plane-spotting; Garden City Pier in its lively off-season; Cherry Grove on its March 2024 reopening day, anglers already fishing; and Surfside's rebuilt concrete pier at its debut the same month.

The boats

Little River is the charter capital: the Hurricane Fleet's owner-operator explains what a day on the water looks like from his docks — deep-sea fishing, dolphin cruising, diving. A MarshWalk segment told by Crazy Sister Marina's Sean Bond covers the inlet side: how the boardwalk turned a fishing village waterfront into the dining-and-music strip, headboat fishing included. That segment's caption track is a Dutch auto-translation; it stands as watch content.

Murrells Inlet MarshWalk and Fishing with Crazy Sister Marina | Myrtle Moments

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

A Myrtle Moments segment on the MarshWalk's own story, told by Sean Bond, who grew up in Murrells Inlet and now runs Crazy Sister Marina: about 25 years ago the inlet's property owners came together to build the boardwalk over the marsh — the old government dock became the Veterans Pier — and turned a fishing village waterfront into the Grand Strand's dining-and-music strip, headboat fishing, dolphin cruises and goat sightings included. Loaded as watch content: the episode's caption track is a Dutch auto-translation, so no transcript is stored.
