Myrtle Beach
Personal memory by Rosselyn Abril
2002 • Myrtle Beach, SC, USA
As a child living in a group home, I was fortunate enough to be able to enjoy 2 vacations a year with our household. One of my favorite vacation places was Myrtle Beach. Back then we could get in the water and have fun. Since October 2015 Myrtle Beach has been under a no swim advisory. The beach is also very polluted, not at all how it once used to be. I miss those days.
