City Guide:
North Myrtle Beach has been fatal for many merchant ships.
Terror-stricken in the early 1700s, North Myrtle Beach suffered from attacks by a British seaman Edward Teach. He took a 300-ton frigate with 40 cannons and named it Queen Anne's Revenge. He used it to decide the fate of merchant ships carrying expensive goods.

Despite the cruel invasions, Teach was interested only in money so if the ship surrendered, he just retrieved the goods. A refusal meant a death sentence for all on board and the ship. For this reason the pirate earned the name Blackbeard, which stuck and became much more popular than his birth name.
However, in North Myrtle Beach there were days before and after Blackbeard's influence. Originally, serving as a home to Winyah Indians, the city became more modern thanks to businessman named FG Burroughs who introduced to the city New Town and the first hotel ever to be in the area.
Since then legions of tourists have jumped on the bandwagon and this has led to the development of a large-scale resort in the city. Consequently, more and more visitors contributed to the area and North Myrtle Beach became very popular throughout the world for its white sands and relaxed lifestyle. While its pirate past is long gone, North Myrtle Beach has still seen its share of tragedy. Hurricane Hazel destroyed almost all its shops and cottages in 1954, so today the city boasts revitalized architecture.
