One of the most important questions to ask when planning a trip is “Are coolers permitted?” Some areas are restricted and others allow coolers. There are still many options that allow you to enjoy your favorite drinks on the beach.
No
Myrtle Beach has stringent beach rules to protect the safety and health of beachgoers. For violating any of these ordinances, you can be fined $500. You could also spend 30 days in jail.
Umbrellas
Umbrellas are permitted on Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach during the summer season. However, they should be placed in a line behind the lifeguard’s umbrella line. In addition, umbrellas should not exceed nine feet in diameter. Tents, however, are permitted on the beach year-round. However, the size of tents should not be larger than three feet in diameter and four feet in width.
Tents
You can enjoy a beach vacation with a tent if you have one that is within the allowed size. But you have to check the city’s ordinance to ensure that you won’t get in trouble with city codes. Canopies larger than 12 feet by 12 inches are allowed.
Thong bathing suits
It is illegal to wear thong bathing suits on Myrtle Beach. Some beachgoers continue to flout this ban, despite it being illegal. One local woman has created a trend on Instagram. Sam Panda, a Pittsburgher who miraculously survived a Bali fall, is one of her followers. She was left with a broken neck and damaged spine, but managed to pull through. Her photo, taken from her hospital bed, quickly went viral. Since then, the hashtag “cancel Myrtle Beach” has become a very popular hashtag.
Metal detecting
Metal detecting is a great hobby for people with a passion for adventure and the thrill of discovering buried treasure. These activities require specialized equipment as well as knowledge about where to find treasures. If you’re planning on using a metal detector on the beach, make sure you have the right equipment for beach use, such as a special glove made for the purpose. To block out any noises, headphones are a must.
Pets
Although the beach allows pets to be brought, renters must adhere to certain laws. Owners must also ensure that their pets are following all city leash laws. Common elements like patios and sidewalks may be allowed for pets, but only as an egress or ingress route. If the weather is acceptable, owners may allow their pets to go to the beach, a park across the street or along a walking path.
