Residential Information

Masks are required in public places in Myrtle Beach, beginning Friday, July 3.

Myrtle Beach Mayor Brenda Bethune is extending the Emergency Declaration for COVID-19. A .pdf is attached. The action automatically extends the executive order requiring residents and visitors to wear a cloth face mask at retail and foodservice establishments, as well as in public spaces at overnight accommodations and other enclosed spaces. The Emergency Declaration is valid through December 31st, and can be extended or rescinded, as needed.

Executive Order 12B continues the requirement that customers must wear a mask in enclosed areas of retail stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, personal care businesses, professional services, gyms, and fitness centers, among other locations. Retail, restaurant, and accommodation staff also must wear masks whenever they are in public areas or working with the public. Failure to wear a mask when required is a civil infraction with a fine of up to $100 upon conviction.

The City of Myrtle Beach thanks residents, visitors, and businesses for following the mask requirement. Click here to view PDF.

Acts of Kindness

I want to thank you for your compassion and grace during this period of incredible anxiety and grief. Because of those of you who stepped up to pay it forward, the City was yesterday able to contribute over $10,000 in matched funds for area Covid-19 relief efforts as well as an enormous amount of canned goods and other foods to help those impacted by financial hardship due to the pandemic.
