My suggestion is come early to snag parking and that's the only not thing to really watch out for. The playground boasts tons of different areas with opportunities to swing, climb, bounce, roll, and explore. I loved the variety of activities and things to do. I also love that the playground is mostly covered which makes the sun or some drizzle not a big deal. There are some areas outside the playground to sit and eat. I'm not sure about the process for booking an area or if you have to, but it's a solid place for a party. This is now a weekend staple!

Arrived during March which is void of lifeguards and with 60° of water surface temperature. Obviously, sunbathing and strolling the sand while birdwatching is the favorite pastime. However, be prepared if visiting during hightide as the amount of walkable sand is scarce. I was impressed that the Restrooms and changing area were clean and immaculate. Although showers were plentiful, there needed to have some within closed door locations for those seeking complete privacy.

We wanted to visit a beach while in SC, this one was one of the top beaches when we searched. I…read morechose the park since it had bathrooms, a showering area and snack bar. I'll add that I wanted to rent chair and umbrella. I did learn you have to do that prior to going down to the beach because they are not able to read cards. It wasn't too crowded on a Thursday afternoon 3pm. My grand had a great time. The pier is about 2.4 miles down the beach and you can see it from the park. Life guard is on duty till 6:30 and they leave chairs and umbrella till about sundown. You can remain however long . They are currently 15.$ chair and 25$ for the umbrella. We didn't get anything from the snack bar so not sure what they have or prices. Plenty of parking it seems at least at the time I went and it was $15 and I was told I could come and go with my receipt. There is a ramp for handicap accessibility . It was a very nice day trip.

Golf carts are welcomed on the local streets allowing for easy beach and eatery access especially if you don't have beach from accomodations. There are several public beach access points that do require paid parking in the near proximity. ***There is also free street parking if you dont mind the walk. There is also a state beach park on the south end of Folly thata really nice with showers, rest rooms, gift shop and etc. last best thing about Folly is they allow wind shades such as Shibumi. Go check out Folly, you won't be disappointed. I promise!

This is a wonderful dog park for all pups in Mt. Pleasant. Located within the Palmetto Island…read moreCounty Park off of Longpoint Road, it costs $2/person to enter the gates. This fee gets you into the dog park - which is immediately past your entrance to the right - as well as all other portions of the park. Admittedly it frustrates me at times that I am paying at least $2, sometimes more depending on if I have a guest or 2 accompanying me, each time I want to let my dog play. But then I am quickly reminded why I keep coming back .. 200 pennies is well worth it for me to have a tired and well-behaved puppy at home! For repeat customers, you can buy a park-specific pass or a county park pass (I think around $80ish) which gives you access to all Charleston County Parks for a year. I have met some really nice people at this dog park, which adds to the beauty of this place. There is one big picnic table for sitting, with an attached umbrella, but otherwise space to sit or rest for the humans is lacking. At this time, they are working on the power lines nearby (I think? See my pics of the signs for clarification) but that will be over in a few months. There is a small dog and large dog side, but it seems that most people go to the large dog side (or at least that's the case every time I've gone). Generally, folks are pretty attentive with their dogs here, although once I saw a very minor dog scuffle that turned into a huge verbal argument amongst a pretty big group of adults (like... 15) which was very off-putting and bizarre for me to witness within a group of adults well over the age of 30 (but maybe not for Mt Pleasant?). Luckily, that only happened once and never again. I've probably been here about 20 times in the year 2021.
