MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WPDE) — Some refer to Myrtle Beach as “Dirty Myrtle,” but you better make sure you don’t have a dirty mouth when you’re there.
WPDE reports those who use profanity could pay a hefty fine or serve jail time.
That’s because profane language falls under the city’s disorderly conduct offense.
City officials say it isn’t about raking in the dough but enforcing the no – as in, people shouldn’t be getting out of hand.
When it comes to the fine, ultimately, courts have the final say, but your potty mouth could cost you up to $500 and/or 30 days in jail.
