Town of Atlantic Beach

Town of Atlantic Beach Atlantic Beach, known as the Black Pearl, is a small town nestled between North Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach, SC that was officially chartered in 1966.

Atlantic Beach is a small town nestled between North Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach, SC. Our town has thrived for over half a century by embracing the good times and always prevailing through the hard times. We will always remain a close-knit community and will never forget our history. Nicknamed "The Black Pearl", the rich culture of the town of Atlantic Beach was formed of mostly Gullah/Geechee p

eople, descendants of slaves who lived for 300 years on the Sea Islands from Wilmington, North Carolina to Jacksonville, Florida. In the early 1930’s, defying Jim Crow laws in the segregated south, debunking black stereotypes, and broadening the enterprises of the Gullah/Geechee people, black men and women opened hotels, restaurants, night clubs, and novelty shops in Atlantic Beach. They would travel along Interstate 95, Highway 17 and South Carolina Highway 9, coming from North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia to Florida, where racial segregation took its toll.
