There is no better way to spend a day than at the beach. Ocean breeze, waves crashing on the shore, feet in the sand; a beach umbrella can make it even better! Whether you prefer to rent online or in person, the Grand Strand area has several options for you to rent an umbrella and/or beach chair. As soon as you book your accommodations, feel free to go ahead and rent your umbrella. Rentals are available from March through October. Lifeguards oversee rentals and are trained and responsible for beach cleanliness and safety.
