A Beach For Everybody
The Grand Strand is proud to be autism-friendly. Surfside Beach and Myrtle Beach are certified autism-friendly by local nonprofit Champion Autism Network (CAN). Through this certification, many attractions, hotels, restaurants, local residents, and the Myrtle Beach International Airport came together to offer sensory-friendly experiences, autism aware and specially trained staff, preferred entrances at attractions and travel discounts to make the Myrtle Beach area the ideal autism-friendly destination.
Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce and Visit Myrtle Beach also completed training to be CAN certified.

In 2022, through a partnership with CAN and TravelAbility, we launched The Beach is for everyBODY: Sensory-Friendly Pledge encouraging businesses to take the pledge to show their dedication to welcoming everyBODY to The Beach and commit to:
- Provide an inclusive space for visitors of all abilities
- Practice patience and problem-solving in all situations
- Cultivate a space of acceptance and helpfulness
