Cherry Grove #11 in Best South Carolina Beaches This small town, located just a few miles from the South Carolina-North Carolina border, is an excellent low-key vacation spot for families. Cherry Grove features several vacation rentals that line its namesake, white sand beach. Plus, the saltwater channels that weave in and out of the community offer superb boating and wildlife viewing opportunities. And if the kids tire of frolicking around Cherry Grove Beach, many family-friendly attractions can be found within driving distance of the area, including Alligator Adventure and the O.D. Pavilion Amusement Pa.
The centerpiece of all the action is the Cherry Grove Pier, known as the best fishing on the Carolina coast. Stretching out 985 feet over the Atlantic Ocean, you can bring your own gear or rent some on the spot. Several fishing records were set here including the world's largest tiger shark.
