Originally built in 1953, Springmaid Pier stretched 1,060 feet into the Atlantic Ocean, making it the longest pier on the East Coast at the time.
Despite being damaged by several hurricanes over the years, including Hurricane Hugo in 1989, the pier has been rebuilt and remains a popular spot for visitors.
Anglers flock to the pier for the chance to catch a variety of fish, including flounder, king mackerel, and sea trout.
The pier is located near the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, which played a significant role during World War II and the Cold War.
The pier is part of the Springmaid Beach Resort, which offers accommodations and amenities for tourists visiting Myrtle Beach.
The pier offers a stunning vantage point for watching the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean, attracting photographers and early risers alike.
