Residents and visitors of Surfside Beach and North Myrtle Beach can breathe a sigh of relief as November rolls in. The start of this month **officially marks the beginning of free parking** at several beaches along the Grand Strand. Yes, you heard right—no more digging around for quarters or worrying about parking tickets. This sweet deal lasts all the way into 2025!
So, what’s the scoop for Surfside Beach? Free parking kicks off this Friday, November 1. Here’s how it worked last year: From March 1 to October 31, motorists had to pay for parking. But now, the tide has turned! Free parking means that anyone hitting the beach for a little sun and surf can do so without breaking the bank.
And here’s a little nugget of info for our heroes out there: if you have a Purple Heart, are a disabled veteran, or simply have a handicap placard or special license plate tag, you’re also in for fantastic news. As long as you display the proper decal, you can park for free in any public space throughout the year. That’s right—all year long, you can enjoy the beautiful beach without the stress of parking fees!
Not to be left out, North Myrtle Beach is also hopping on the free parking bandwagon starting the same day. Just like Surfside, the previous paid parking policy applied from March to October, but now, it’s all about those relaxed vibes and beach fun without the hassle. So gather your beach gear, grab a cooler full of snacks, and head to your favorite spot without worrying about where to park.
Oh, and here’s another handy tip: if you’re someone with a handicap sticker or placard, you can park for free in any city-owned parking lot throughout the year in North Myrtle Beach, as well. Bring on the beach days!
For those who might be curious about the future, both towns are expected to have similar paid parking dates in 2025, running from March 1 to October 31, happy beach-goers! Keep an eye on the town websites for the latest updates and any changes that may come up—it’s always good to stay in the loop.
As the weather cools down a bit and the summer crowd eases up, November is a perfect time to enjoy the beautiful beaches of the Grand Strand without the hustle and bustle. Take long beach walks, build some sandcastles with the kids, or just relax under the sun. Besides, who doesn’t love taking in the sound of the waves while grabbin’ a sweet spot in the sand?
So, grab your sunscreen, your favorite beach chair, and don’t forget the tunes! Enjoy those gorgeous fall days while the free parking gives you even more reasons to smile. Whether you’re a local or visiting from afar, **the beaches are calling!**
