“Go. The southern section of North Myrtle Beach, encompassing communities like Windy Hill and Crescent Beach, is a relaxed and family-friendly coastal area that is considerably safer than downtown Myrtle Beach. While standard vigilance against seasonal property theft is necessary, violent crime is low and the area is welcoming for vacationers and families.”

Scores are safety-driven: recent crime levels and local news, plus Census data on income and poverty, housing, education and household make-up, and access to vehicles, internet and health coverage. Walk and bike scores are shown separately and do not affect the safety score. A guide, not a guarantee. Neighborhood outlines come from official city and US Census boundary data.
