Pay-to-park at public beach access points turn off tourists

Pay-to-park at public beach access is disgusting. No bathrooms or bath houses available! What is the city thinking?

Add $1 to all real estate taxes and they could have free parking with bathroom and bath houses. What do you think tourists think of this?

Tourism is the Myrtle Beach area’s main income. I drove by the access points and they were empty compared to usual.

What a lame brain idea.
