Beach Description
South Carolina United Turtle Enthusiasts (SCUTE) monitor approximately 78 km of beach in northern Georgetown and Horry Counties. This area includes the following separately patrolled areas.
Myrtle Beach State Park, under the authority of SC Parks, Recreation and Tourism, has a protected beachfront with no development, but very little nesting. It is a good area for relocating nests laid in other areas of Horry County that would not have a high hatch success due to beachfront lighting or overwash. A naturalist and volunteer program assist in monitoring any nests in this area. Myrtle Beach State Park averages less than five nests per year.
