NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The City of North Myrtle Beach reminds residents that Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 2.
Remember to set your clocks back one hour before going to bed on Saturday night. Standard Time will remain in effect until March 8, 2026, when we “spring forward” once again.
Tips for Adjusting to the Time Change
- Go to bed earlier: Try heading to bed about 15 minutes earlier each night leading up to the time change to help your body adjust.
- Practice relaxation: The shorter days can impact mood and energy levels. Seasonal depression is common among those who enjoy sunlight and outdoor activities, so be mindful of your mental health and take time to relax.
- Make the most of your weekends: With fewer daylight hours, spend time outdoors during the day on weekends. Step away from everyday demands and take care of yourself.
Golf Cart Laws
Please remember that South Carolina golf cart laws remain in effect after Daylight Saving Time ends. Golf carts are permitted on public roads only from sunrise to sunset—so as the days grow shorter, carts must be off the road earlier.
Key Reminders:
- Golf carts must display an official South Carolina permit sticker, available through any SCDMV office or the SC DMV website.
- Drivers must have a valid driver’s license.
- Carts are allowed on secondary roads only and may cross primary roads such as Ocean Boulevard, 27th S, Highway 17, and Sea Mountain Highway.
- All state traffic laws must be obeyed.
- Do not exceed the seating capacity of the golf cart.
- Permitted golf carts may be operated only on roads with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less, between sunrise and sunset.
- Children under age 12 must wear a seat belt when riding in a golf cart on a public road, as required by state law.
