Myrtle Beach's new oceanfront boardwalk and promenade is nearly ready, with the grand opening set for Saturday, May 15, during the first-ever Beach Music Festival.  In fact, the northern and central sections, from the 14th Avenue Pier to Fourth Avenue North, opened to the public this afternoon.  The last few blocks, from Fourth Avenue North to First Avenue North, will be complete by early June.  The photos below of the boardwalk were taken on Thursday, April 1.  The northern-most reach is a traditional, raised boardwalk that meanders along the dunes.  The central section, next to Plyler Park and oceanfront businesses, is a wide plaza with shade sails and a crosshatched wooden deck.  The southern section is a broad promenade with lush landscaping and a great beach view.  Enjoy!
