News Title: Water Tower Road – Latest Development Updates - Forestwood, Marshfield, Waterside, Grand Dunes North Village, Sovereign Village, Watertower Estates
Water Tower Road is an approximate 10-mile long road in North Myrtle Beach/Longs that runs from the interchange at Highway 31 northeast to Highway 90. Highway 31, also known as the Carolina Bays Parkway is a six lane highway that parallels the Intracoastal Waterway around Myrtle Beach.
