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 first one told me about the importance of marshland, but was hard to read because it was very faded. The second, more solid and legible sign / plaque, gave us a history of how the park got it's name and who she was. The views from this end of the park are nice and you can see the new construction of the Children's Center and the Marina along Lockwood Blvd. Pelicans could be see diving in to the water for breakfast, so we stopped to watch that for a minute. Benches are available for sitting if you are so inclined. Overall, a nice quaint park for sitting and meditating.

Directly across from the harbor, it mainly consists of an overflow pond, a fishing dock and a couple of benches under the shade of oak trees. You can relax and take in the peacefulness around you, watch the locals fish, or catch a few yourself. You have to park in the private parking lot of the condos just off of Lockwood, but I have never had a problem with this. There is not a lot of room for kids to run around but it is a cool spot to share with bigger kids who are interested in fishing. Overall though it is a great place, especially if you just need to take a minute or two for yourself.

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!
