About Atlantic Beach
Nicknamed “The Black Pearl,” Atlantic Beach was formed by predominantly Gullah Geechee people, descendants of slaves who lived for 300 years on the Sea Islands from Wilmington, N.C. to Jacksonville, Fla. In the early 1930s, defying Jim Crow laws in the segregated South, debunking black stereotypes, and broadening the enterprises of the Gullah Geechee, black men and women opened hotels, restaurants, night clubs, and novelty shops in Atlantic Beach. Nestled between Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach, Atlantic Beach remains the only Black-owned beach in the nation.
