There are no lifeguards on most SC beaches. The few beaches that do have lifeguards are state "parks" so they require an admission fee.
My thought on this has always been that it's great to have the lifeguards and charge a fee, but that residents of that county (or at least that town) should not have to pay.

I don't need the boardwalk (and its overpriced overhyped restaurants) to enjoy the beach, nor do I need a lifeguard as I am qualified myself. Which leads me to my next question, and maybe I am beating a dead horse here--why does New Jersey continue to put up with beach fees? No other state in the entire country charges for beaches unless they are part of a state park. And every state I know provides lifeguards, beach maintenance, etc. as part of their state budget. In the most densely populated state in the country, there is no excuse for this except poor budgeting.
