The Sun News is the Grand Strand's local news leader both in print and online. We are passionate about our responsibility as being Horry County's and Georgetown County's most compelling and trustworthy information source through our newspaper, other print products and our websites.

While primarily a coastal tourism-based community, the region also contains rural, agricultural and some light industrial sections. The area's population is composed of a distinct mix of "native"​-born locals and residents who have relocated to the area from all over the world. Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand area are considered one of the country's most visited family and golf vacation destinations.

The Sun News is located in the seaside city of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Located on the far northeastern edge of the state, Myrtle Beach is in close proximity to historic Georgetown, South Carolina (38 miles), Charleston, South Carolina (99 miles), and Charlotte, North Carolina (175 miles).

We are proud to offer our advertisers complete marketing campaigns to drive their business needs.  In addition to our print products we offer an array of digital marketing opportunities (search engine marketing and optimization, social media, mobile, retargeting, email marketing, digital display and much more).


Founded: The weekly Myrtle Beach News was founded in 1936. In 1961, the Myrtle Beach Sun (founded in 1950) bought the Myrtle Beach News and formed The Sun News newspaper.
