“ In short, the pier was temporarily closed due to repair work to the damage we sustained from Hurricane Ian. Work was completed and we were preparing to reopen the entirety of the pier the week of December 18th. Unfortunately, the Nor’easter that impacted the Grand Strand on December 17th, 2023 damaged additional support piles. We’re currently working with experts to determine the best path forward.
