Conway Real Estate Conway, South Carolina Conway, known as “The Gateway to the Beach” offers old-south charm and is one of South Carolina’s top inland retirement destinations. Overlooking the Waccamaw River and located just 12 miles inland from Myrtle Beach, the residents of Conway have worked hard to maintain the small town-feel that has long been associated with the city. The town features a quaint, tree-lined business district and classically restored plantations. While Conway residents are proud of their history, they still have an eye on the future. The city’s riverfront features an 850 foot boardwalk that has scenic views of the Waccamaw River.
