Some put their toe over the line. I was in ankle deep! Women wanted me, men wanted to be me. The easy part was the short walk to see the view or setup a chair. You can watch as the fisherman cast lines or watch the sunset. The parking lot has only 10 spots, but it wasn't an issue for us. Seems like cars wouldn't stay to long. I would recommend stopping by for a short bit, but due to the water restrictions and therefore ocean **cough cough** restroom restrictions I wouldn't stay long.

What a beautiful (dangerous) place to hang out. Breach Inlet separates the island of Sullivan's…read moreIsland and Isle of Palm passable by bridge. Each side of the Inlet has it's own personality. On the Sullivan's Island side there is a parking lot with a few historical markers telling visitors the story that Breach Inlet played in the American Revolution; in 1776 that the British could not ford the inlet and take Sullivan's Island on foot, many drowning trying to cross the inlet from what is now IOP to Sullivan's Island. On the IOP side there is a footpath through the brush to get to the inlet and from there you can head left to get the beach at Isle of Palm. Both sides have small parking lots and small beaches that you can fish off of. Swimming the Inlet is illegal, because it is so dangerous and I've witness currents take skiers flying off; only to be saved by life jackets they were wearing. Many people have drowned in this water. But it is a great place to come fish, wade (not swim) in the water, or just hang out on a nice day.

I usually avoid the beach during holidays, knowing the potential challenges, but this time was different--it was absolutely worth it. We arrived at the paid parking area earlier than the official opening time of 9:00 AM--around 8:15 AM--and to our delight, they had a "soft, early" opening for Memorial Day. There was no line, no waiting, and the parking attendant we interacted with was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The staff was truly outstanding, taking care of everything for us. They carried and set up our beach umbrella and chair rental right on the sand, making our arrival stress-free and seamless. The view was spectacular as always--this beach never disappoints. We spent hours, 6 to be exact, watching the tides ebb and flow, completely immersed in the beauty of the ocean. The atmosphere was refreshingly peaceful and incredibly family-friendly. Even when it briefly rained, it only added to the charm of the day. After all, as the saying goes, "a rainy day at the beach is better than a sunny day at work," and it couldn't be more true. If I could rate this beach higher than 5 stars, I absolutely would. It was a perfect day filled with relaxation, natural beauty, and wonderful service. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

The park also boasts boardwalks, sand volleyball, and a children's playground Fee: No fee but Parking is $15 for a full day.

The park consists of several boardwalks that allow you to walk over the creek and the marshlands that surround it, it's also adjacent to a more commercial boardwalk full of retail and restaurants as well as a marina where you can watch shrimp boats come in and feed the dolphins and pelicans their cast offs. I could have spent hours there just doing that! I love bird watching and the walkways out into the park are perfect for that. At the end of a few of them they also have covered pergolas/gazebo like structures with a bit of seating and shade if you want to park for a while and watch. This is also ground zero for a lot of fishing, so it may be a bit more crowded an other parts of the park but on a bright, sunny day it's the place you'll want to be.

The park is on the Sullivan's Island side of the bridge, opposite Isle of Palms. It is small with minimal parking. If you're lucky and get here early enough or your timing is right, you might be able to get one of the half-dozen spaces. I was here for a few hours - working from the van and looking out at the waves and listening to the crashing surf while taking some Zoom calls. During a break in the calls, I took the time to walk onto the beach and even got my feet wet in the Atlantic Ocean. Swimming is not allowed in this area due to the incredibly strong currents and undertow. There are several captions pointing out the history of the battle. It's beautiful.
