Letter | There are too many tents and too much cigarette smoking on Myrtle Beach area beaches

Too many beach ban violations

I recently spent a Sunday afternoon at the beach, in Cherry Grove. I counted no less than five cigarette smokers, and one tent.

I was under the impression that both were banned at this beach. Was there any thought given as to how to enforce these bans and how we can ensure beach rules are visible to all those at the beach?
