Explore Windy Hill 

At the southernmost point of North Myrtle Beach lies the Windy Hill area, where you will find access to the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Known for “beach and bustle,” this welcoming neighborhood offers the best of both worlds and many ways to find timeless family fun.

What to do

Spend time unwinding on the course with a round of golf or dive into the local entertainment scene just steps away. The legendary House of Blues sets the tone with live music, a true cornerstone of the neighborhood’s nightlife or see a show at the renowned Alabama Theatre for a dose of Broadway-style spectacle.

Stroll Barefoot Landing where more than 100 unique boutiques, restaurants, and entertainment venues await.

Sip your way through a wine tasting at Duplin Winery, known for its laid-back vibes and sweet pours. Then, drift into the evening aboard the Barefoot Queen Riverboat Cruise, where dinner is served with a side of stunning views along the peaceful Intracoastal Waterway. 

Bring the whole family to one of the most popular attractions, Alligator Adventure, the ultimate outdoor experience and the largest facilities of reptile life in the world.

Wine and Dine

Satisfy your cravings with a variety of mouthwatering dining options, starting with local favorites like Lucy Buffett’s LuLu’s and Big Chill Island House where waterfront views combine with relaxing beach vibes.

Enjoy a glass of wine, experience a wine tasting, or just bask in the ambiance at Duplin Winery. Part brewery, part restaurant, and part backyard hangout, Crooked Hammock Brewery features its own "island" complete with hammocks, swings, and yard games.

It’s always 5 o’clock at Landshark Bar and Grill with their family friendly full menu, a great view, and a playground for kids. Taco Mundo is another favorite, with a flavorful menu and a beautiful patio view of the waterway.

When you’re in the mood for something more upscale, treat yourself to fine dining at Greg Norman’s Australian Grille or 21 Main, both staples of the neighborhood.

Indulge in dessert at Native Joe’s with sundaes, milkshakes, and coffee. Don’t miss a trip to Wee R Sweetz, where the nostalgic aroma of freshly made candy greets you at the door.
