Identify Palm in North Myrtle Beach

[Palmobsessed]

Help identify please! Palm in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina that I took today. We just had Dorian roll through last night, but most of the Palms handled it quite well.

I think it may be a Mexican fan palm, or Mediterranean Fan Palm? I see them all over, but not as common as the Butia’s and Palmettos of course. This one was particularly tall, so I grabbed a photo of it. 

 

I’m a new member. I live in Myrtle Beach, and I have a pretty large amount of Palm photos to eventually share, from Myrtle Beach of course, and from Hunting Island State Park near Hilton Head Island, SC.  I also have some from a trip to Miami and Orlando, Florida. I also have a few from my trip to Bogota, Colombia, which was cool to see tropical exotic Palms at such a high altitude! I love Palms, and my family thinks I am insane. I am not quite as knowledgable yet as some of you, but I know a lot more than the average person of course, being somewhat obsessed with Palms. I mostly know the terms for my local palms. Nice to meet you all!

Those are some flawless looking robusta for Myrtle Beach.  Looking a tad wind whipped is all.

Those are some nice Washingtonia robusta! You stop seeing them last long term once you get north of the extreme Southeastern part of North Carolina.
