This cemetery is directly behind the Myrtle Beach Convention Center and also behind the Health Department on 21st Ave N and Oak Street.

It has no signage for a name, and no one that I have spoken with knows it by name, referring to it as the cemetery on Oak Street or the cemetery behind the Convention Center.

It was practically abandoned for many years, other than the occasional burial it was left to nature, then it was rediscovered and brought back to a visitable cemetery. Many worked, and by the cleaning and clearing of trash, brush, and overgrowth, and the replacing of broken and missing gravestones, it is possible to know the names of many of the people buried within it's fence. There are several unknowns and infant gravesites, however, that I may not be able to identify.
