Apache Pier: Myrtle Beach’s Walkable Wooden Icon Shines in National Spotlight
Myrtle Beach, SC — Our beloved Apache Pier has been recently featured on Islands.com as South Carolina’s longest walkable wooden pier, celebrated for its unbeatable combination of fishing, live music, arcade fun, and classic beachfront charm.
Stretching more than 1,200 feet into the Atlantic Ocean, Apache Pier stands proudly as one of the most iconic landmarks on the Grand Strand, drawing locals and visitors alike to experience its timeless appeal firsthand.
A Pier With History and Heart
Originally dating back to the 1940s, Apache Pier has been lovingly expanded and reconstructed over the decades — always honoring its classic wooden design, even as other piers across the country have been rebuilt with modern materials. Today, it holds the title of the longest wooden pier on the East Coast, a testament to our region’s coastal heritage and enduring tradition of seaside enjoyment.
