There are still several cats in the ocean creek area of myrtle beach. That's the northern end of myrtle. There is beach access parking everywhere thru that area. N Myrtle is allowing me to leave the boat on the beach in Windy Hill for weeks at a time with no issues this year. Myrtle does ask that you let the police know where your boat is located on the beach. Residents can buy a yearly beach pass for $50 or so.
