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.

The beach itself is alright all that ocean water yet no waves crash the shore, theyres pleanty sand to spread a towel and plop down fir an afternoon The island is completely overrun with ridiculously rich people living in giant beach houses that cost millions of dollars, i was in one. A friend was havingbit completely wired for dound, remote lighting, security cameras, etcetera. It depresses the hell out of me, honestly, seeing all those phony millionaires strutting around like they own the ocean. ​Right on Middle Street, there's this place called Poe's Tavern, named after Edgar Allan Poe. He was here doing something long before he wrote all those awesome creepy poems. They have these giant burgers named after his stories like "The Pit & Pendulum" or "The Gold-Bug", I get "Tell Tale Heart". The burgers are actually pretty great, thick and juicy with pimento cheese and bacon, even if the whole Poe themed artwork on every wall is not even a little phony. ​Want to tip a few pints? Will then head on over to Dunleavy's Pub. It's a cash only Irish dive bar run by a bunch of diehard Boston Red Sox fans if memory serves me correctly which completely killed me because im a Yankee fan and when you walk inside and there are Red Sox pennants and neon signs plastered all over a beach bar in South Carolina. But they serve ice cold beers in pitchers, and honest pints andb nobody gives a damn if you're still covered in sand from the beach in a Yankees hat. If you're stuck on Sullivans Island and need a solid burger and a cold beer without taking off your sandals or flip flops, those two dpits arevworth a trip even if the sight of all those wealthy beach houses makes you want to throw up.

Parking is a challenge because it's off of a residential neighborhood, and you have to walk a bit, but it's worth it! I wish it wasn't our last day on the island because I wanted to return to wade in that ocean water!! We SHALL RETURN!

The gate was open most of the time back then, but now they are very stengy about it. If you're not a member, people will know it and approach you about it, but you can't blame them. They pay a decent amount to be in it. It's got THE BEST views of the city of Charleston around. If you're not a member, you could always just go to Sunrise Park next door. Jumping off the dock, shark tooth hunting, fishing, crabbing, sailing, swimming, that's what I spent most of my childhood doing there. It holds a special place in my heart, especially with Charleston being over run by transplants now.

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!
