Surfside Beach Pier Committee Proposes Possible Consumption Zone

The change would allow visitors to walk around a designated area with an alcoholic beverage free of consequences.

The Surfside Beach Pier Committee hinted open container laws could be changing in the area.

The town’s pier committee met this week to propose the possibility of creating a consumption zone in the entertainment district.

The change would allow visitors to walk around a designated area with an alcoholic beverage free of consequences.

The committee is now conducting research on other areas in Myrtle Beach that allow open containers to learn more about the possibility.

No official decisions have been made and the committee plans to address the topic again after further research.
