Myrtle Beach bans tents & umbellas
FYI I just read that Myrtle Beach has followed North Myrtle Beach in banning tents on the beach, but took it a step further and apparently has banned the use of umbrellas also. I am not sure how...

We've been living the 'tent ban discussion in MB since last fall. Essentially they want the ezee up type of shelters banned along with the beach tents. Regular beach umbrellas will still be ok providing they are behind the lifeguard view line.
For folks like ourselves who spend a lot of time on the beach, I welcome the shelter ban. There would sometimes be 2 and 3 shelters 10x10 put up side by side and only 4-5 people under them. It would take up a lot of usable beach space particularly during high tides and really limit everyone's ability to also use the beach. A couple chairs and one beach umbrella have always been sufficient for us.
Just my opinion.
According to the article. In MB, you cannot have a umbrella. In North MB, you can have a umbrella, IF is less than 9' in Diameter. Also, in the county, where most CGs are. There is of yet no law concerning either.
You may know more. But that is all the article says.
This is the reason we stay on the beach front. Our camper is only a few steps from the beach. So we can stay out there long as we want, and be in the shade in less than 2 minutes.
