Myrtle Beach eyeing longer surfing restrictions on beaches
Myrtle Beach officials weigh extending surfing limits through Sept 30 to reduce conflicts with swimmers. Five surf zones already allow surfing, with restrictions in other areas from March 16 to Sept 1. Proposals also seek a 50 to 100 foot safe zone for Jet Skis and watercraft and two workers on the beach to enforce launches.
