Beach Day at the State Capitol 🏖️ 🌟 A big thank you to Chris Bizzell, Daniel Newquist, Pat O'Neil, Janet Curry, Senator Campsen, J. Baldwin, Crawford Moore, Phillip Pounds, and Senator Matt Leber for your support of South Carolina beaches!

The South Carolina Beach Advocates' board was introduced on both the House and Senate floors as we shared one unified message:

➡️ South Carolina must establish reliable, dedicated funding for beach management and restoration.

Beaches fuel tourism, protect infrastructure, and support local economies. A sustainable funding strategy is not just smart policy — it’s a long‑term investment in our state’s resilience.
