COLUMBIA, S.C. (WMBF) – South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster issued an executive order on Monday that closes all public access points to the state’s beaches.
The executive order also closes all public boat ramps, landings and other access points on the state’s lakes, rivers and waterways.
“As a result of behavior observed this past weekend by the Department of Natural Resources and SLED, it has become necessary to close public access to our state’s beaches, and to close boat ramps and landings on our state’s lakes, rivers and waterways,”McMaster said.
“This is unfortunate for those who chose to responsibly follow the instructions of our public health officials, but it is a necessary action to prevent the spread of this dangerous virus.”
Tell me this hasn't gone TOO FAR!
There's plenty of open air on the vast 60 Mile Beach!
Sad thing is you can request the peeps to do certain things and they just dont do it, so it becomes mandatory, sorry.
Myrtle B cleared out vacationers last week
Communism
Methinks the deep state is making its stand ....
Yeah, the beaches here in the Lowcountry was slammed over the weekend. Not just young people either.
U R funny
You have no rights the government doesn’t give you now apparently!
Thankful I live on the river front.
U R Funny Too
What river front
Isn’t it a shame? And all along, I thought we were the government.
Private access is still allowed.
There is a small creek by me.
The out of town beach goers are gone…
So what on earth is the problem? There’s so much space!
My daughter is staying on a private beach in Myrtle Beach.
Locals know how to get around these restrictions, you aint one then move along
Behavior observed? Is this East Germany?
The longer this nonsense endures the more urgent the need for these drunk on power governors to specify and quantify.
Specify the statutes under which they justify their ever more baroque and wide ranging restrictions. Quantify the amount of time they will last and specify the conditions for lifting same.
I’m a local, I’ll go to the beach & have it to myself.
