Myrtle Beach State Park (SC State Parks)
- Land: donated in 1934 by Myrtle Beach Farms.
- Built by: the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC); a number of CCC buildings from the 1930s are still in use.
- Cabins: six rental cabins built by the CCC in the 1930s, plus a campground.
- Pier and nature center: a fishing pier and a nature center with saltwater aquariums.
Why this matters for renters: the park's manager describes it as one of the last beachfront green spaces on the Grand Strand. The park also warns that parking is limited and it can fill up at peak summer hours.
Dogs on the beach
South Carolina State Parks says pets are not allowed on the park's beaches from 10 am to 5 pm, seven days a week, from May 1 through Labor Day. It calls this a county ordinance that applies on all public beaches in Horry County. Cities can add their own rules, so check with the city where your rental is.
