Surfside Beach Dedication Ceremony Held Despite Incompletion

The Surfside Beach Pier is not open to the public yet as work on the structure continues.

The town of Surfside Beach hosted a pier dedication ceremony Monday afternoon.

The Surfside Beach Pier is not open to the public yet as work on the structure continues.

Railings, walking surfaces, stairs as well as guard and hand rails are still in need of completion. However, the dedication ceremony was held anyway because the plaque was made with the month of September engraved on it.

The original structure was destroyed in 2016 by Hurricane Matthew and has been closed off to the public ever since. The official opening date has not been announced yet.
