About Canepatch Swash
Canepatch Swash is a narrow inlet on Myrtle Beach's north end where the Atlantic Ocean meets the shallow waters of a salt marsh system, creating a unique tidal environment that attracts shorebirds, small fish, and curious beachgoers exploring tide pools. The area offers calmer, shallower water than the open ocean beach, making it ideal for wading, kayaking, and observing marine life in their natural habitat rather than swimming or surfing. The swash's protected, natural setting feels more secluded than the main beach strips, with a quieter vibe that appeals to nature lovers and photographers seeking the interplay between coastal and marsh ecosystems.

Nice place to park and take some shots of the beach.
This Public Access parking for the beach. Cash or credit is acceptable thru ticket kiosk machine. Fee is $2 per hour or $10 for all day parking. Spaces are marked with railroad ties with enough room as to not get any door dings from the cars parked next to you.
This is a great hidden area off Ocean Blvd about 15 minutes north of Myrtle Beach. They even have a designated surf area. The water and the beach is nice.
Free parking ocean front until March first
Beautiful can't wait to return
