Test your luck from the pier as you try to catch a variety of crabs, fish, and many other critters. Come early to secure a rental crab trap and purchase some bait for this catch-and-release morning. Or, if you are already outfitted for crab catching, bring your own supplies (raw chicken or fish for bait) and jump right in.
Fishing Pier, Myrtle Beach State Park, 4401 S. Kings Highway. Tuesday, 9:30-11am. Free with park admission, $3 for trap rental. (843)238-0874,
