Additional Details:
Myrtle Beach is so tempered by the Gulf Stream, which rolls over northward a few miles off the coast, that it averaged 14 degrees cooler in in the summer and proportionately warmer in the winter than adjacent areas. Originally this locality was known as Long Bay, but took the name Myrtle Beach because of the luxuriant growth of evergreen myrtle.
