Really enjoyed our time on this beach. Very easy to rent umbrellas and chairs without heavy lifting. Their snack bar is convenient and bathrooms kept clean. Lifeguards are plentiful. Wash areas and changing rooms are so nice to avoid tracking lots of sand into your vehicle. We had a blast here, will definitely be back!

My family and I had a great time. The beaches were clean and not so crowded and the scenery was breathtaking! First time visiting and would love to return.

The whole park is very nice. We went a little early so there were not many people on the beach. The facilities are very clean and well up kept. There was also an elevated pavilion that had a nice place to take food and eat. Access was only 5 dollars. There are some other things to do that kids would love, like looking for sea shells or finding a starfish. The nature is very pretty here.

Great place. $5 entry. Plenty of parking. Lots of birds, seashells, I found a sand dollar. There is the wishing tree all the way to the end and then walk the tree side, you'll see it on your right. Make sure to participate! Food and shops near by 1 mile or less. The park has snacks and restrooms.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

There is not a fishing pier at the county park end. The county park owns the one that is closed but the actual park doesn't have one. People stand on the beach and fish though.

Can you camp on the beach

melisa stover | May 17, 2019
Meghan Elizabeth | May 18, 2019

In South Carolina you have to have a permit to camp on the beach. Right now, no one is handing out permits due to erosion from hurricanes, and sea turtles. But you can get a permit in the winter months easily. Just not on Isle of Palms, Folly or Sullivan's. We have been able to get permits on Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach, and Surfside areas. You have to go to the city for permits.

I have not had any trouble in the past doing so. I always ask for a receipt when entering the park solely for this purpose. This way there is no confusion. Especially if there are different people working the post.
