Marine Supplies & Boat Parts in North Myrtle Beach, SC

North Myrtle Beach sits at the northern end of South Carolina's Grand Strand — a 60-mile arc of coastline that gives boaters, anglers, and paddlers access to one of the most varied marine environments on the Southeast Atlantic coast. The Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, Cherry Grove Inlet, Little River Inlet, the Waccamaw River, and a network of tidal creeks, salt marshes, and estuaries all converge within a short boat ride of each other, offering offshore bluewater fishing, protected ICW cruising, productive inshore flats, and remote paddle-accessible wilderness in the same day. West Marine North Myrtle Beach equips anglers, boaters, sailors, and paddlers with everything they need to experience the Grand Strand's exceptional waterways — and our staff are active local boaters who know these waters firsthand.

We serve the boating communities of North Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach, Little River, Conway, Surfside Beach, Pawleys Island, and the broader Horry and Brunswick County waterfront. Whether you're launching from Barefoot Landing Marina, running the ICW south toward Georgetown, or heading offshore from Little River Inlet, we carry everything from USCG-required safety equipment to boat care and maintenance products — stocked for the Grand Strand's year-round boating season and its active hurricane corridor.

Cruise the ICW & the Grand Strand — Boating Gear & Marine Electronics

The Grand Strand's boating calendar stays busy from spring through fall. Set out from Barefoot Landing Marina to cruise the sheltered ICW south toward Bird Island and Sunset Beach, waterski and wakeboard on the Waccamaw River's calm stretches, or run the inlet for an offshore day in the Atlantic. The ICW's wildlife-rich corridor is one of the most scenic stretches on the entire East Coast — a passage through salt marshes teeming with osprey, brown pelicans, and bottlenose dolphins that bow-ride alongside slow-moving vessels.

Keep your vessel running reliably in South Carolina's warm, salt-heavy environment with outboard engine parts and accessories, marine electrical components and wiring, bilge pumps, through-hulls, and ventilation systems, and deep-cycle marine batteries and battery chargers. For docking and anchoring in the ICW's tidal current and the inlets' variable conditions, we stock storm anchors and high-holding anchoring systems, heavy-duty dock lines and chafe gear, and fenders and dock bumpers for marina and anchorage use.

Stay safe and compliant on South Carolina waters with USCG-approved life jackets and inflatable PFDs, throwable flotation devices, visual distress signals and flares, and marine fire extinguishers. For navigation and electronics, our store carries a full range of chartplotters, GPS units, and radar systems from Garmin, Raymarine, and Simrad, along with AIS transceivers and receivers for monitoring the heavy ICW and offshore vessel traffic common along the Grand Strand. Complete your electronics suite with marine stereos and entertainment systems and fishfinders and sonar for locating the Grand Strand's productive offshore structure.

Fish the Grand Strand's Inlets, Flats & the Atlantic — Rods, Reels & Tackle

North Myrtle Beach delivers fishing variety that covers the full spectrum from casual to world-class. The surf at Cherry Grove Beach is one of the Grand Strand's most accessible fishing spots for pompano, bluefish, and whiting through the warmer months. Cherry Grove Inlet and Little River Inlet concentrate redfish, flounder, and speckled trout on the tide changes, while the back-bay grass flats and tidal creek mouths hold snook and sheepshead year-round. Offshore, the Gulf Stream runs closer to the South Carolina coast than almost anywhere on the East Atlantic seaboard — putting mahi-mahi, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, and blue marlin within practical range for boats departing from North Myrtle Beach's inlets. The nearshore ledges and wrecks just offshore of the Grand Strand produce king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and cobia reliably through the spring and fall migration.

Our fishing department carries a complete selection of offshore and inshore rods and reels from Shimano, Penn, and other trusted brands, along with a full range of terminal tackle, rigging supplies, and lures matched to the Grand Strand's diverse species and conditions — from surf rigs and popping corks for inshore fishing to offshore trolling spreads for the Gulf Stream. Mark nearshore wrecks and structure with fishfinders, sonar, and GPS chartplotters, and stay safe offshore with fixed-mount VHF radios and handheld VHF backup units. Our fishing staff are active local anglers who know the inlets, the flats, and the nearshore ledges — and can point you to what's running and how to rig for it.

Sail the Atlantic & the ICW — Rigging, Hardware & Sailing Gear

North Myrtle Beach's combination of protected ICW waters and direct Atlantic access makes it an excellent sailing ground for sailors of every experience level. Beginners and casual cruisers find the ICW's sheltered stretch ideal for learning, day sailing, and exploring the Grand Strand's scenic waterway. Experienced sailors take advantage of the steady Atlantic sea breezes and the open ocean passages north toward Cape Hatteras or south toward Charleston and the Georgia coast. The Grand Strand's sailing community is active and welcoming, with a season that runs well into fall thanks to South Carolina's mild climate.

Our store carries a full selection of rigging hardware, wire, and high-performance line, blocks, winches, and deck hardware, and anchoring systems for extended ICW and offshore stays. Navigate the Grand Strand's inlets and offshore waters with chartplotters and GPS navigation systems, stay in contact with VHF radios and SSB communication gear, and be prepared for the Atlantic's conditions with EPIRBs and Personal Locator Beacons. We also carry performance sailing apparel and sun protection for the Grand Strand's intense summer heat and humidity. Our sailing staff can advise on ICW cruising routes, inlet timing, and outfitting for Atlantic coastal passages along South Carolina's shore.

Paddle the Grand Strand's Marshes & Waterways — Kayaks, SUP & Gear

North Myrtle Beach's tidal creek system and salt marsh network make for some of the most rewarding paddling on the Southeast coast. House Creek and Hog Inlet offer calm, wildlife-rich paddling through marsh grass corridors alive with bottlenose dolphins, brown pelicans, great blue herons, and loggerhead sea turtles during nesting season. Bird Island — a pristine, undeveloped barrier island accessible only by boat or paddle — draws kayakers looking for a remote beach experience away from the Grand Strand's development. The Waccamaw River's darkwater cypress swamps stretch north into North Carolina, offering a completely different paddling environment just inland from the coast's salt marshes.

We carry a full selection of sit-on-top and touring kayaks suited for the Grand Strand's tidal creeks, open ICW passages, and coastal surf launches, along with stand-up paddleboards for flatwater and surf. Complete your setup with paddles for kayaking and SUP, paddler-specific PFDs, and performance clothing and sun protection for South Carolina's intense coastal UV exposure. Our paddlesports staff can advise on tidal timing for House Creek and Hog Inlet, the best routes to Bird Island, and the right hull for the range of conditions along the Grand Strand's waterways.

Hurricane Prep, Dock Accessories & Year-Round Boat Care

North Myrtle Beach sits squarely in the Southeast Atlantic hurricane corridor, and serious storm preparedness is part of responsible boat ownership on the Grand Strand. Our store stocks storm anchors and high-holding systems, heavy-duty dock lines and chafe gear, boat covers and support systems, and emergency signaling devices to help you protect your vessel when tropical systems develop in the Atlantic. Our staff can help you build a storm plan specific to your vessel, your marina, and your storage situation on the Grand Strand.

For year-round dock upkeep in South Carolina's humid, salt-air environment, we carry cleats, dock ladders, and hardware, solar and LED dock lighting, and fenders and dock bumpers built to handle the Grand Strand's heat, UV exposure, and coastal moisture. We also stock fuel stabilizers for gasoline and ethanol-blend fuel, boat care, wax, and cleaning products, and battery maintainers for boats stored between uses during the shoulder season.
