48th st. Myrtle Beach
Edit SpotAbout
good for Bodyboarding and those who can take a relentless pounding yet surf for 6hrs a day or more :)
Atmosphere:
Friendly atmosphere, all are welcome most are local. Bring the kids, leave the dog & rods at home.
Additional Info:
Bodyboarding spot. Welcome spongers!!
The pier 14 live-cam will give you a general idea of the surf but; you should go check it out anyway if your like me and have nothing else to do.
Bodyboard spot!! keep the surfboards and fishing rods to a minimum please. If you don't have fins on your feet you are wasting your time and mine. Surf at 64th & North and 47th & South.
Watchout for Mid-western vacationers who will fish and swim right in your lineup! Extremely frustrating but I don't move for anyone. Also watch out for lifeguards as thier understanding of the ocean seems to be lacking but they leave at 5:00pm daily.
