I just wanted to add that the beach wheelchairs in North Myrtle Beach are actually available year-round. In the off-season, they have them at the main Parks & Rec office on Possum Trot Road. They are only available on days the office is open (mostly M-F, I was told, with occasional Saturdays depending on events), but may still be reserved in advance and for up to a week. The phone number listed on the North Myrtle Beach Parks & Rec website for beach wheelchairs doesn’t work this time of year, but calling the Parks & Rec office itself worked for me.
