    Before Myrtle Beach Was Famous: The Untold Story of the Grand Strand - Coasting Podcast EP#9

    Did you know Myrtle Beach played a role in World War II? Most people know Myrtle Beach for its beaches, boardwalks, and summer vacations. But the real story of this coastline goes much deeper. In this episode of Coasting, historian Kathryn Hedgepath—founder of Myrtle Beach History Tours—joins us to uncover the hidden history of the Grand Strand. We explore how Myrtle Beach first came to be, the fascinating music culture that shaped the coast, and the surprising role this area played during World War II. From early settlers and railroad expansion to legendary musicians and wartime airfields, Kathryn shares the stories that reveal how this quiet stretch of coastline became the Myrtle Beach we know today. Because sometimes the most fascinating thing about a place… is the story that came before it.   👉 Recorded live on the Tea Patio of the Franklin G. Burroughs – Simeon B.
