Here in North Myrtle Beach, spring breakers are not waves cascading onto shore, breaking over the surfline shoals. They are people, mostly under the age of 21, who wear bathing suits in 50- and 60-degree weather, dash into the surf after Frisbees, and wander around in short and flip flops 24/7. Spring breakers are cascading on our shores, having fun while out of school.

The Saint Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival began at 9 AM on March 13th and, just as in years passed, thrilled spectators. Young Heather Edwards was selected from many worthy competitors to be Grand Marshall this year! The street festival operated from 10 AM to 4 PM with over 50 vendors for arts, crafts, and food. Children brought heightened enjoyment to this event, and the “wee folk” sang right along with the Irish tunes.

Barefoot Landing, Saturday, March 20th, from 10 to 4. Taste of the Coast takes place with lots of food and fun! Bring the entire family and any other kids you can find for a play day – a kids’ zone, live entertainment by the local pop rock group Diversity, did we mention food (Prince is a contributor)! The event supports a food drive benefitting the North Strand Helping Hand (over 5,000 pounds raised in 2009).

While some shovel snow, here this weekend temperatures dally at the upper 60’s with perhaps a dabble at 70. Sure, our thermometers dip now and then. Sure, the wintery winds can bite through our Southern one-layer jackets when the off-shore breeze takes hold. However, mostly we have no need for gloves, down-vests, and self-activated hand and feet warmers. Here in mid-March the spring season is upon us, and Daylight Savings Time arrives this weekend.

It’s that time of year again when we move the clock forward (“spring” forward) to adjust to Daylight Savings Time. Though we will lose an hour of sleep for that one day, we gain daylight at the end of each day, enough to enjoy the great weather at the beach. Then, in November (first Sunday) we roll the clock back again.
