Underpack even once for a beach trip, and it’s a valuable lesson.
Overpack once, and it’s as valuable. Although you want to be prepared when you hit the shore, you don’t need EVERYTHING. Some things you can do without. Others, you can rent.
Such as chairs and umbrellas — here’s how.
Umbrellas are … illegal?
Yes! Well, of a certain size. If yours is 7 ½-feet in diameter, in line with, or behind, the established umbrella line, it’s okay to take it to the beach. In the summer, no other shading devices are permitted. (One exception: Small infant tents, no more than 4 feet x 3 feet x 3 feet.) There are different rules for tents in the offseason, but we won’t get into that here.
Why not bring my own chairs and umbrellas?
Why haul your nice beach chairs and umbrellas to Myrtle Beach — then down to the shore? Rentals save you the hassle, as well as wear and tear to your personal belongings.
