If your Spring Break plans include clinging to
motor vehicles or sleeping in them at night, think
twice before speeding off to Myrtle Beach.
The Myrtle Beach Police Department has some
Spring Break plans of its own, and officers will be
on hand to enforce the city's Code of Laws, many
of which are unique to the community, such as
restrictions for cruising and surfboard use.
Visitors will be expected to abide by the beach's
regulations, as well as statewide alcohol and drug
laws.
"When we send those laws out, we're by the
letter on those," Sgt. Harry Rogers said. "We're
going to be aggressive in enforcing them."
"That's a criminal record, you know," Rogers
