South Carolina Highway 707 is a highway in Georgetown and Horry Counties, South Carolina in the Myrtle Beach metropolitan area that begins at U.S. Highway 17 across from Farrow Parkway near Socastee, South Carolina and terminates at U.S. Highway 17 Business in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.
South Carolina Highway 707 began as an unpaved cow path in an area that was once largely rural. In the late 1970s, the route that South Carolina Highway 707 currently takes was previously signed as South Carolina Highway 544 from Murrells Inlet to the current intersection of Dick Pond Road in Socastee. At that time, South Carolina Highway 707 began at Socastee, followed Socastee Boulevard and parts of the then-unbuilt U.S. Route 17 bypass north of the Myrtle Beach International Airport before terminating at U.S. Highway 501 on the route of the current Robert Grissom Parkway.
Much of the landscape traversed through the area was farmland until the 1980s when suburban growth began to occur outside of Myrtle Beach. Most of the growth around the area has continued into the 2000s, with development of golf courses, neighborhoods, and subdivisions being common in pockets along the fourteen-mile length. St. James High School opened on the highway near Burgess, South Carolina in 2002.
