History & History Related Items Surfside Beach history: The area was sparsely settled in the early years. It was then known as Roach’s Beach. The hurricane of 1893 ruined most of what was there before the hurricane hit. The area was bought by George J. Holiday in the early 1920’s. He renamed it Floral Beach after his wife, Flora and his daughter, Floramay. He retained the land for a short while and then, in the late 1920’s another group from the Columbia area took over and developed a portion of the land. It was in 1952, that the land was again sold. This time it was renamed Surfside Beach though the area was largely undeveloped. Another hurricane, Hazel, hit in 1954 and ruined 18 of the 65 houses on the beach. But the town rebounded and rebuilt. Myrtle Beach Air Force Base was re-opened in 1956 and the town benefited with more growth. By the mid 1960’s, Surfside Beach had established itself as a family beach area and good retirement place.
