NORTH MYRTLE BEACH -- A stretch of beach near the site where a small plane went into the ocean this week is reopening to the public.

A banner plane crashed in the ocean just off North Myrtle Beach on Thursday. About 200 yards of beach were closed as officials checked for fuel spills from the plane, which could be seen upside down in the water.

City spokeswomen Nicolle Aiello said the pilot was the only one onboard. He freed himself and got to shore -- about 35 feet away -- on his own.

There were no serious injuries.

Aiello said the area was expected to reopen Friday.
