Waterbridge on track in Carolina Forest area - Business - TheSunNews.com
Carolina Forest will soon be the home to the largest residential use pool in South Carolina. Carolina Forest is a bedroom community of Myrtle Beach and the entire community is no older than 10 years.
I remember driving through the future Carolina Forest area with a friend way back in 1996. International Paper owned thousands of acres and although much was planted with timber, most of the acreage was not harvested. We saw evidence of bears and other wildlife that sadly has been displaced by man.
I've lived here since 1976. I still lived in Murrells Inlet (20 miles south of Myrtle Beach) at the time and would help out some friends who had several shops in Windy Hill Beach (North Myrtle Beach). I recall driving from the Inlet to Windy Hill with NO STOP LIGHTS and all the property on both sides of the road was farm land and horse pasture.
The name of the shops location was called "Village of the Barefoot Traders" which today goes by Barefoot Landing.
