Myrtle Beach Memorial Day Weekend 2021: Police Safety and Traffic Plan Essentials

The Grand Strand draws millions of visitors annually with its 60 miles of pristine beaches, thrilling attractions, and diverse dining options. As Memorial Day Weekend 2021 approaches, Myrtle Beach Police Department shares vital safety guidance to ensure a smooth visit.

Chief Amy Prock welcomes all to enjoy the sun and sand. The department prioritizes visitor and resident safety with a comprehensive plan for the busy season. Please obey laws and respect others in our vibrant city.

For the holiday influx, a traffic management plan activates Friday, May 28, 2021, at 6 a.m. Ocean Boulevard becomes southbound one-way; northbound lanes reserved for police and emergency vehicles.

Designated avenues from Kings Highway to Ocean Boulevard serve as emergency routes for police, fire, and EMS. Message boards on Kings Highway guide drivers. South Carolina Highway Patrol monitors intersections, diverting traffic to ease congestion. View detailed maps on the Myrtle Beach Police website under the "Memorial Day" tab.

Pedestrian safety measures start Friday, May 28, with barricades from 29th Avenue North to 29th Avenue South, promoting crosswalk use and keeping streets clear.

Expect heightened law enforcement presence—uniformed and plainclothes—along Ocean Boulevard and the Boardwalk, targeting speeding, noise, disturbances. If you see something, say something.

For updates, visit the Myrtle Beach Police Department website or call 843-918-INFO.

The department remains professional, firm, and fair to keep everyone safe and enjoying The Beach. See you soon!
