The field itself

This is North Myrtle Beach's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.

Museum-quality cotton paper

Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.

Solid wood framing or glossy metal

Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Grand Strand Airport Runway Diagram Print

Grand Strand Airport works with one runway, 5/23, and the print hands it the whole page. A single dark bar runs corner to corner, low on the left and high on the right, with the 5 threshold marked at the southwest end and the 23 threshold at the northeast. The pavement measures 5,997 by 100 feet of asphalt, and the field sits 32 feet above sea level. One line, one angle, nothing competing with it.

The supporting geometry all sits on one side. A taxiway shadows the runway along its southeast edge, joined to it by four short connector stubs, and the apron with its row of hangar blocks gathers near midfield. That gives the composition a long stroke and a small counterweight, which is what makes a single strip field read well on a wall: the eye follows the diagonal, then settles into the ramp detail up close.

The airport is county-owned and public use, sitting one nautical mile northwest of the central business district of North Myrtle Beach in Horry County. Its origins are undetermined, though it was likely built during World War II by the United States Army Air Forces as Wampee Flight Strip, an auxiliary landing field for Myrtle Beach Army Airfield. From 1956 until 1976 it was the commercial airport for Myrtle Beach and other Grand Strand communities, primarily served by Piedmont Airlines, and since 1976 it has served general aviation. The name Grand Strand comes from the nearby 60 mile stretch of beach, while the code CRE points to nearby Crescent Beach.

It hangs well on its own, and it also groups cleanly with other Carolina coastal plain fields if you are building a wall: Wilmington up the coast, or Florence inland. Each is plotted the same way, so the diagonals and the pale ground stay consistent from frame to frame in the colorway you choose.

North Myrtle Beach (CRE) print, common questions

How many runways does Grand Strand Airport have?

One. Runway 5/23 measures 5,997 by 100 feet with an asphalt surface, and it is the single strip you see crossing the print on the diagonal.

What does the code CRE refer to?

CRE refers to nearby Crescent Beach. The airport's name, Grand Strand, refers to the nearby 60 mile stretch of beach. The code is set in large type at the lower right of the print.

Where is the airport, and how high is it?

It sits one nautical mile northwest of the central business district of North Myrtle Beach, in Horry County, South Carolina, at an elevation of 32 feet. The coordinates and elevation are printed under the city line.

How closely does the print follow the published layout?

The runway orientation, the 5,997 by 100 foot proportions, the parallel taxiway and the apron footprint are all plotted from published airport information, cycle 2610, effective 2026-09-03. It is a designed print rather than a navigation document, so fine details such as markings, lighting, signage and smaller pavement edges may be simplified or omitted.

What sizes are available?

The diagram is rendered as vector artwork, so it stays crisp at every size offered, from a desk-scale frame to a large statement piece. Pick the colorway that suits the room; the geometry and the type layout stay the same. Each print is made to order and ships free within the US.

Is this a good gift for a pilot?

It suits anyone with a connection to the Grand Strand: general aviation pilots who fly the 5/23 pattern, students who soloed here, or families who spent summers on that stretch of coast. The layout is specific enough to be recognized instantly by someone who knows the field.
