Route description

SC 90 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 501 Business in the census designated place of Red Hill. It travels west, first briefly through an area of industrial warehouses, then on a arc curving to the south past numerous houses. After turning to the west again, outside of Red Hill, the density of houses lining the road decreases. Major roads that SC 90 intersects include International Drive and Old Reaves Ferry Road. After an interchange with SC 22, the highway enters the community of Wampee. The highway curves to the southeast at S-Hwy 57 where it heads through open space and farmland. It reaches an intersection with Robert Edge Parkway within a finger of North Myrtle Beach. The intersection marks the western terminus of the parkway and is the entrance to the North Myrtle Beach Sports Complex. The parkway also provides access to SC 31 / Carolina Bays Parkway.
SC 90 heads west, first under SC 31, then past numerous housing developments. It also passes in front of North Myrtle Beach Middle School. Upon its intersection with Sea Mountain Highway, much more commercial businesses line the highway. The highway also enters the CDP of Little River at this intersection. Shortly thereafter, Old Highway 17 intersects SC 90. It comes to an interchange with US 17 and SC 9, though no access to northbound US 17 / SC 9 is provided at the interchange. For its final, SC 90 passes many businesses before curving to the north and ending at an intersection with US 17.
