This is a very low-key beach. Not good for swimming as the rip currents are strong here. There are warning signs and says its a 1000$ fine. The parking lot is small and can get filled up quickly on weekends. There are a few benches to sit and relax, and watch the waves. Nothing much to see here except for crabs and some birds. But the beach is really clean.

LOVE! Beautiful place for pictures! Lots of crabs and great shells. Amazing place to sit and watch the ocean without having to run through a lot of sand.

I used to come out here often. There’s a small stretch of beach that you can walk on peacefully as there is not that many people that come to on this side. Mostly locals. They come out, sit and enjoy the beautiful sunrises. I saw a group of older men just sitting there in the grassy area talking. I saw only one accessible parking spot. There could’ve been more I just didn’t see them. Very kid friendly.

The park is located on the side of the highway on our way home when we travel to Charleston near Mt Pleasant. I love the view of the water and beach along with dolphins swimming in the channel . It's always a great way to relax and unwind . There's adequate free parking and a few benches nearby to enjoy the views or an entire stretch of beach to sit and enjoy nature. On today's visit, 4/30/25, I was shocked and disheartened to see the towering sand piles the no longer allow you to sit and enjoy the view of the water and dolphins. Literally all you could see was sand and more sand. Truly a sad day for a beautiful little park.

Great spot to sit on the beach. NO SWIMMING!! Sign posted that you will be fined if you go in the water. Small parking lot so there may be no parking spots available when you arrive. Wonderful place to sit and feel wind on your face and listen to the waves.
