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.

If you really want to hear about it, I suppose they call it the Town of Mount Pleasant Dog Park,…read moreits on Rd. Ive heard it calledvRifle Range Dog Park when i lived there, or depending on which stupid sign you're looking at. And right off the bat, they've got all these official looking metal signs posted everywhere, therebis a lot of signs and i read them all, stain on me if i break a rule. They put up a big sign that says "SMALL DOGS" right on the fence, as if the small dogs give a damn about reading signs or care which side of the chain-link fence they're supposed to stand on. My big dogs love small dogs and hate big dogs, how peculiar is that? ​And then there's this ridiculous notice from the Mount Pleasant Waterworks that practically apologizes for existing. It literally tells you that the place is right next to a wastewater treatment plant, and that "at times, odors from this plant can be less than appealing," but "unfortunately, those odors cannot be eliminated." That killed me. I mean, at least they're honest about the smell, but it's just so depressing when people try to sound all polite and formal while telling you the whole place smells like sewage. ​They've got rules posted all over the place, too. Endless lists of stupid things you can and can't do, like everybody's going to read a giant essay on a fence before letting their hound run around. But the dogs don't care about any of it. There was this one collie just sitting out on the dirt trail in the woods, looking around like he was the only genuine thing in the whole damn state of South Carolina. Dogs are alright, mostly. They don't act fake or pretend to be something they're not, unlike the people who put up fifty rules and a giant sign warning you about bad smells. ​Anyway, if you like walking around in the woods near a water plant with a bunch of chain-link fences and warning signs everywhere, it's fine, I guess. It just depresses the hell out of me.

This is a really nice, secret park for dog right in the middle of Mt. Pleasant! I am happy this…read morelocation is here and know that people enjoying using it. It features a small dog and large dog side hidden away under the trees. The place is nice and stays shaded during the hot sun, but it is in the woods somewhat so I might suggest bringing bug spray for mosquitos and gnats. This park is great for pups to run and plan, but be aware that it is not always populated, so you cannot guarantee that others will be there. I have always had pleasant experiences at this park, but I will say that I don't always feel the most comfortable going there alone as you have to walk a bit in some trees on a trail before finding the fenced in play area. Personally, I always bring someone with me when I go. DIRECTIONS: If this is your first time going, give yourself some time to find where it is! You have to turn off Rifle Range into the Waterworks facility. Then, follow the signs (to the right) all the way to the end of the road. Keep looking for the dog park signs (or a sign for Marsh View Trail, which passes through the dog park), and note that it is somewhat hard to find. You know you are there when you find a "dead end." Cars are generally parallel parked, if there are any there. On the right-hand side are trees (and you can see houses/a neighborhood through them) and on the left-hand side is a metal fence and stuff presumably for the waterworks. Once you park and start headed to the park, you will have to walk just a tad until you get there. (I took pics and posted in my Yelp review if it's helpful). Enjoy!

What an unforgettable weekend getaway! This was a spontaneous, "last-minute" trip, and I couldn't…read morebe happier we decided to go. 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!

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.
