The east-facing beach offers a long stretch of sand with regular wind conditions. Myrtle Beach is one of the few large East Coast beaches that allows kitesurfing in certain areas. Note that restrictions are strict during peak summer season — kitesurfing is generally limited to specific hours and zones to avoid conflicts with swimmers.
