Share Your Grand Strand Story
Every memory matters.
We’re collecting real stories from the people who have lived them — the summers, the music, the first jobs, the family trips, the nights on the boardwalk, and the quiet moments by the water.
This is a place to preserve the living memory of our coast, one story at a time.
The Monthly Grand Strand Story Award
Each month, one submitted story is selected to receive a $150 Story Award as a thank-you for helping preserve the shared memories of our coastal community.
Your story doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be real.
Take a moment… think of a memory that still feels close. Then tell it the way you remember it. What do you remember that still stays with you?

Stories are reviewed for clarity, community tone, and connection to place. Submissions must be family-friendly and respectful. One story each month is selected for the $150 Story Award when minimum participation levels are met. Stories may be edited for length or clarity before publication.
These stories belong to all of us.
Thank you for helping keep the memory of the Grand Strand alive.
