The team also made a visit to the Myrtle Beach State Park to learn about the park’s maritime forest, beaches, nature center, interactive programs, and picnic sites.
“Our park has a maritime forest, which is a forest by the sea, and these forests are quite rare because we have developed so much property along the beach,” said Park Ranger Ann Wilson. “In fact, this is the only place that the public on a daily basis, 365 days a year, can access this maritime forest.”
News13’s Taylor Hernandez spoke with Wilson about this year’s record breaking sea turtle season along the Grand Strand.
During the previous days of the Summer Road Tour, the News13 team visited Coastal Carolina University, Darlington Raceway, Moore Farms, and Little River Medical Center.
