In 2023, however, the Office of Management and Budget redefined the statistical area and moved Brunswick County to the Wilmington, NC Metropolitan Statistical Area.[2][3] The Myrtle Beach MSA's principal cities, ordered by population, are Myrtle Beach, Conway, and North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. The Myrtle Beach CSA includes the city of Georgetown, South Carolina.
