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...

This is ridiculous. People have been setting up tents and umbrellas on the beach for ever. How many drowning's have occurred due to a tent blocking the view? If safety is the concern, just ban the tents in the strip between the life guard tower and the water. Is the city going to stop renting tents and umbrellas on the beach?

Not really true. Tents are a relatively new thing. Folks only started using them a few years ago. And yes they are intrusive. People set them up side by side, and you can't even walk between them. Have to go thru. Some even leave them up all night. That causes the beach sweeper to either have to go around them, OR tear them down and trash them. Have seen them just drive over them. They get thrown into the big hopper on the back.
AAs I say. We go down to the beach, stay as long as we want, and because the camper is just the other side of the dune. Go back for dinner, and shade, and back to the beach for the after noon.
