Hurricane Erin continues to churn in the Atlantic waters hundreds of miles off the U.S., prompting officials to close beaches along the East Coast from the mid-Atlantic to the Northeast.

Public access to 'private' beaches on Perdido Key led to lawsuits against Escambia County and others. A new law puts litigation on hold.

"Spring Break, really never happened for us, and then the summer swing, never happened for us," says Kirsten Smail, a marine educator for Dolphin Quest told ABC Action News. “It’s a ghost town,” confirmed Amber Simmons, General Manager at Pirates Pub & Grub. "It's the slowest year we've had since 2020."

A South Carolina beach was the most searched for out-of-state seaside spot in 18 states, a new study has shown.

As Hurricane Erin moves closer to the East Coast, it's stirring up powerful and dangerous rip currents that will affect our beaches and shore points.While the storm isn't making landfall, it's generating strong swells that are forecasted to build waves between 8 and 12 feet.

Much of today is probably partly sunny and dry, but an isolated shower or storm is possible. Friday and Saturday look delightful!
