Surfside Beach calls itself "the family beach" because generations of families have lived or vacationed in the primarily beach house community.  Surfside Beach was known as Roach's Beach in the 19th century, a business man renamed it Floral Beach after his wife and daughter and then in the early 1950s it was given the name we know today.  The population of approximately 4,800 people have their primary residence or vacation home in this intriguing community.  Fresh seafood can be found at the local restaurants or you may want to catch your own. Surf fishing and the landmark Surfside Pier prompt many to throw out a line or just relax and watch others.
