The area where Barefoot Landing stands today was once called White Point Swash, and was home to a restaurant called White Point Caf. There is a rumor that Blackbeard, the famous ruthless pirate, used to use White Point Swash as a landing spot during his travels to Charleston, South Carolina. Windy Hill Beach incorporated in 1964 with John T. Harrell as mayor, and joined the towns of Crescent Beach, Ocean Drive, and Cherry Grove to form North Myrtle Beach in 1968.
