Join us for a weekend filled with family, fun, and fellowship.  This will be our first in-person gathering since 2018 and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be a special time to reconnect with fun-filled activities for all ages in this historically significant township. 

 

Atlantic Beach, SC is nestled between North Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach. It holds a rich history as one of the first oceanfront resorts developed exclusively for Black people during the segregation era, it is now the last Black-owned and governed beach municipality in the country.

 

The greater North Myrtle Beach area has a myriad of attractions and activities suitable for all ages and interests. From thrilling amusement parks and water parks to championship golf courses, shopping outlets, and live entertainment theaters, there is something to captivate every family member.
