Grand Strand Ocean Water Among Nation's Dirtiest

Horry County's beaches are among the nation's dirtiest, according to a report issued today by the Natural Resources Defense Council.

South Carolina State Park and Campground, Myrtle Beach, Springmaid Beach and Surfside Beach each received a one-star rating out of a possible five because, the report says, they only meet one of the quality criteria -- posting closings and advisories online and at the beach.

North Myrtle Beach received three stars for its overall water quality last year and in the past three years, plus its timely reporting of beach advisories and closings. –Sun News
