I spoke with city hall and parking on Fri night is OK. They do have a rule that boats cannot be on the beach overnight but are allowing it for the event. Said to launch at 4th ave. That explains why so many boats with surfside stickers showed up in N Myrtle 2 years ago. What a stupid rule, the beach has no liability for a boat being parked on the shore. Technically the city doesn't own the beach, but whatever! I hate rules like this that have no bearing on anything other than some old farts wishes! Too many beaches are getting shut off for no reason.
