NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- The City of North Myrtle Beach respects and is grateful for the federal court’s decision to grant our motion of Summary Judgment and dismiss the entire case brought by Cherry Grove Beach Gear against the City.
North Myrtle beach is a flourishing community and a highly sought after destination for millions of visitors. We want all businesses to thrive in our community, but they must adhere to laws and regulations put into place for the safety and well-being of our citizens and visitors.
The court’s well-reasoned ruling supports our City’s long standing interpretation and enforcement of South Carolina law and City ordinances governing the public beach. We believe this decision benefits not only our community but all South Carolina coastal municipalities entrusted with the stewardship of a public beach.
