Trees along the Intracoastal Waterway and marshland make attractive perching and roosting spots for bald eagles and other raptors passing through our area. With plentiful food supplies in the brackish water, nesting materials all around, and minimal disturbance from humans, bald eagles sometimes settle in. Smaller than their northern counterparts at a little over 7 pounds, our bald eagles have an average wingspan of over 6 feet. What’s to do in winter? Come see eagles!

A new Barc Park in North Myrtle Beach (off U.S. 17 and 62 Avenue North near the Epps YMCA), as of October 20th. Residents of the canine persuasion are raving about it. Of course, it has rules, but the best part is that inside the park, dogs don’t have to wear a leash (must have a collar and tags). Open from sun up to sun down, this is wonderful place for dogs!
