Myrtle Beach Area After Labor Day Relaxes Laws — But Not All at Once, and Not Everywhere

Yesterday, Ranger Ann & team were lucky enough to do an inventory of a green sea turtle nest at Myrtle Beach State Park. This was the second-ever green sea turtle nest at the park! Check out the video of one hatchling as it made its way into the ocean!

One year ago today, Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated on a Utah college campus. For South Carolina, the aftermath hasn't been 2,000 miles away. In this report: why our editorial position hasn't changed, how our Facebook page was hijacked days after we stood with Kirk, where the case against the accused shooter stands, the Clemson firings and the free-speech question no SC court has answered, and the Grand Strand lawmaker behind a new campus safety law. 📰 Full one-year report: [ANNIVERSARY ARTICLE LINK] 🔓 How our page was hijacked and restored: https://myrtlebeachsc.com/leftist-globalists-threaten-all/ ⭐ Become a Founding Member ($9.99/month, lifetime rate lock): [MEMBERSHIP LINK] MyrtleBeachSC News is reader-funded and independent, covering Horry and Georgetown counties.

Just published: Horry County's Project Lifesaver covers all 1,300 square miles free—and it serves visiting families too. But there's a critical detail every parent and caregiver needs to know: the tracking band only works if your child wears it and the battery is changed every 60 days. Read the full story to understand why both matter. Enrollment: Sgt. Scott Calderwood, 843-915-8129.

New video is up about the 10-foot albino python captured Monday night in Market Common. James Sargent of The Snake Chaser responded—it was the biggest snake in his 16-year career. But what really matters is this: if it was someone's pet, that's legal. If it was released deliberately, that's not. And here's the question that haunts this story—can a tropical python survive a Horry County winter? We've got the science on that. What would you do if you spotted a python on your street?

We just published a breakdown of what Horry County approved for Carolina Bays Parkway on the South Strand — and it's one of those stories where the mechanism matters more than the headline. The county signed off on a development agreement that helps pay for extending SC 31 toward the US 17 Bypass, and here's what makes it different: the funding runs through a special tax district tied to the Pine Ridge development. In plain English — the houses get built, they generate the money, and the road gets built. That creates an interesting dynamic. The faster the development builds out, the faster the road arrives, but the more traffic comes with it. And the agreement only covers the segment through that one tract — the rest of the corridor is still unfunded. What do you think — is that a fair deal for residents? Watch the video and let us know in the comments.

New video is up. This is the last full weekend of family summer on the Grand Strand — Horry County students go back Wednesday, Aug. 19, later than any of the other 72 districts in South Carolina. Aiken went back July 20. Georgetown Aug. 3. Berkeley Aug. 12. The 90-second version covers why: state law sets the opening floor at the third Monday in August, and the same law writes in an exception for year-round modified calendars that most districts use, entirely lawfully. Horry doesn't — so Horry is one of the few districts actually bound by the date the statute names. Full write-up here: [https://myrtlebeachsc.com/horry-county-school-start-date-2026/]
