Tower planned for North Myrtle Beach

[krazeeboi]

The former Barefoot Camping Resort in North Myrtle Beach is the planned site of the city's largest oceanfront development, "North Myrtle Plantation." The development is planned to include up to 1,000 single-family and multi-family homes, restaurants, office and retail space, and a wide variety of resort amenities on the property, including a 2-acre waterpark.

It looks a little like the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas.

WOW that's amazing ! I'd expect to see something like that yeah in the Bahamas, S. Florida, or Vegas. Go head Myrtle I wonder how long before we start seeing more resorts like this on the horizon!

My girl is gonna hate it though.

Anybody know how that Hard Rock theme/amusment park is coming along there?

Hopefully the best suite won't cost $25,000 per night. Atlantis is one of the most incredible resorts on the planet, in my opinion. I love the casino, aquarium, and pools there too. I would love Myrtle Beach to eventually have something on a similar level - perhaps this is it.

This seems to be a bigger scale version of the Myrtle Beach Resort. It was all condos, and owners could live in them, rent them out, time share, etc. There was an indoor pool for year round swimming, tennis courts, a cabana bar, and plans for an on-site restaurant and convention center. My dad bought a unit on the tenth floor of the tower. Unforunately, it was sandwiched by two campgrounds, and the resort did little to keep people from pitching a tent and taking up all the space at the bar, pools, etc. Also, there never seemed to be enough parking. The "convention center" land was eventually sold to the campground to the south (Ocean Acres?), and the restaurant never happened. Not having the space to put an on-site golf course probably destroyed any prospects of being "upscale/exclusive" but it was still fun to go back in the 80s.

plans look great campground was eyesore but it did give the little guy place to go close to beach. local and state gov need to step in right up the street in atlantic beach and let them put one of them condos there open up ocean blvd would improve whole area!!!!!!

Nobody can get a clean title to land in Atlantic Beach. That is one of the reasons that you won't see it developed anytime soon.

Atlantic Beach was the traditional Black beach from the days of segregation. Much of the land ownership there is under dispute. As a side to this, when Windy Hill Beach, Crescent Beach and Ocean Drive decided to re-incorporate as North Myrtle Beach, Atlantic Beach declined as they felt it was a pre-curser to people coming in to take their land.
