Now in its fifteenth year, Salute from the Shore has become South Carolina’s Fourth of July tradition.
This year’s Salute from the Shore will begin at the North Carolina/South Carolina border, 40 miles north of Myrtle Beach, at approximately 1:00 pm and will make its way down the South Carolina coastline.
The flyover will begin with F-16s from McEntire Joint National Guard Base and a C-17 from Charleston Air Force Base. These aircraft will make their way down the coastline, beginning at Cherry Grove in North Myrtle Beach and ending in Beaufort in the Lowcountry. Beachgoers are encouraged to come out early to watch the military planes as they soar down the South Carolina coastline on Independence Day.
Grab your flags. Wear your red, white, and blue. Keep your eyes and ears alert, and wave your flags as the planes pass by.
