Horry County parks are open from dawn until dusk unless a special event is scheduled. Being in a county park after closing hours can be treated as trespassing, and posted hours at each park control.
Chapter 14 (Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs) of the Horry County Code governs county park use. As a general rule, county parks are open from dawn until dusk unless special events are occurring, and posted hours or rules at each individual park apply. The parks and recreation department may set specific opening and closing times, reserve facilities, and close areas for maintenance or events. Beaches and city parks in Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach and Surfside Beach are governed by those municipalities' own ordinances and posted hours. Anyone using a park outside posted hours may be asked to leave and can face trespassing enforcement by county or beach patrol officers.
Remaining in a county park after closing (dusk) without authorization may be treated as trespassing and can result in citation or removal by law enforcement.
