Paddleboarding Around the Grand Strand

June 25, 2014 1:13 am

If you’re looking to pick up a watersport that’s more main stream than extreme, check out the laid-back leisure activity of paddle boarding. Similar to surfing without the heavy surf and similar to sailing without the sail, paddleboarding involves standing, kneeling or sitting atop and elongated surfboard and riding the calmer waters of the ocean swells, or exploring the connecting rivers and inlets. Paddleboarders use their hands, feet or a paddle to maneuver their way slowly over the unbroken waves or along the more tranquil waters of the Intracoastal Waterway and Waccamaw River. You may have seen lots of paddleboarders just off the coast cruising along at a leisurely pace while surfers, kiteboarders and windsurfers blow past them.

Take your dog to the beach … sometimes

Everybody loves to go to the beach, even our furry, four-legged friends. But dog owners need to know the rules about taking Rover for a stroll on the beach during the summertime.
The same leash laws that are common in your hometown also apply in Myrtle Beach on a year-round basis. All dogs must be kept on a leash a maximum of 6 feet in length all times, technically even if you and your dog go for a dip in the ocean, although some lifeguards might cut you some slack for letting Fido off the chain to chase a Frisbee or a tennis ball in the waves.

Here are five places on the Grand Strand to find that perfect dog with all the great fixings.
