Life on the water is a defining part of South Carolina’s culture, especially in Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, and Murrells Inlet. From jon boats and sailboats to ski boats and jet skis, water recreation is a favorite pastime for many. However, with larger vessels navigating waterways, local creeks, and the ocean, boating accidents are an unfortunate reality. These accidents can result in severe injuries or even loss of life off the Myrtle Beach coast.
