MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – Demolition of the Breakers Hotel on Ocean Boulevard at 21st Avenue North started this week as crews make way for two new hotel towers to be built, according to Myrtle Beach City Government.

“The older tower is being removed to make way for two new hotel towers, plus a wide-open view of the beach and ocean when you come down 21st Avenue North,” Myrtle Beach City Government said in a Facebook post. “Removing the current tower and guest services office opens up the street-end view.”
