Construction is underway on the Boardwalk and Promenade, which will stretch 1.2 miles along Myrtle Beach's oceanfront, from the Second Avenue Pier to the 14th Avenue Pier. The boardwalk itself will feature three different sections varying in width and following a serpentine pattern with the dune line.
North Section (above) The first section, the North Walkway, will extend from the 14th Avenue North Pier to Plyler Park at the foot of Mr. Joe White Avenue. It features a raised wooden deck, with dune landscaping and vegetation, to create a serene, peaceful and natural environment and beach experience. The walkway in this section is eight feet wide with connecting pathways to beach access points.
Central Section (above) The second section, the high-intensity portion of the boardwalk, extends from Plyler Park to Eighth Avenue North. This section adjoins beachfront stores and shops and invokes a carnival and nostalgia atmosphere with its sights, sounds and energy. This section ranges from 26 to 50 feet in width.
South Section (above)
The third and final
section, the South Promenade, continues from Eighth Avenue North to First
Avenue North, just south of the Second Avenue Pier. The South Promenade
will be a lineal park promenade with
benches and natural landscaping. This
section offers relaxing views of the beach and passive recreational
opportunities. Main walkways are 12 feet wide, When complete in June 2010, the Boardwalk and Promenade will provide visitors and residents with a contrasting pedestrian alternative to Ocean Boulevard. The location, dimensions and material used for the Boardwalk and Promenade will create an enjoyable place to stroll, chat, shop and jog.
