Conservation Note
Coastal development pressures make dune and beach protection important—respect signage, avoid trampling dunes, and pack out all trash to reduce local impact.
Axe throwing as organized recreation borrows from American logging and frontier knife-throwing traditions; North Myrtle Beach itself grew from small fishing communities into a coastal resort throughout the 20th century.
