ATLANTIC BEACH, S.C. -- The Grand Strand in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina attracts more than one million people each year to bask on its beaches. Contributing greatly to the tourist numbers is the Atlantic Beach Bikefest on the Grand Strand, formerly known as Black Bikers Weekend. For the past 21 years it has grown into one of the biggest and most lucrative events in South Carolina. Over 500,000 bikers and pleasure seekers congregate in Atlantic Beach to celebrate Memorial Day weekend, the beginning of summer, and to watch the latest motorcycle trends. Huge crowds spill on to neighboring areas that include N. Myrtle and Myrtle Beach.
