Ocean Water
To ensure the quality of the Grand Strand's ocean water, the
communities along these golden shores have enacted a voluntary
summer-long water-testing program. Using 20 sites along the coastline,
the program meets EPA standards, established in cooperation with the

Did You Know?
Ocean water temperature along the Grand Strand beaches is about 20
degrees warmer than New York ocean water during the summer months and approximately 10 degrees warmer during the winter months.
