Reviews
"Beautiful, quiet little beach. Could have stayed for hours picking up shark teeth! Also has restroom access. Recommend shoes at low tide, I got a nasty cut from a somewhat hidden oyster covered rock."
"Fantastic spot to put in your kayak. You can see dolphins galore. You are right out into the harbor so you get great views of downtown. The Cooper river bridge. The sunsets and sunrises are to die for"
"Very quiet park with a beautiful view. Dog friendly but no fenced in area to let your furry friend run loose. Plenty of parking. Nice place to go clear your head!"
"An absolute hidden gem. One of the best places to enjoy sunset views with Charleston and Arthur Ravenel Bridge in the background, and also watch dolphins. It was so gorgeous when we went. The beaches are amazing too. Plenty of places to just sit and take in the beautiful views. The gate does close at dusk but its automatic. We saw a lot of people coming after sunset - you just need to park on the street."
"Visited today for the first time. It’s in a very clean, safe area and was well worth the drive from Summerville. It does have a bathroom at the parking lot but it’s definitely not clean FYI. Small parking lot that wasn’t busy when we visited. Two small beaches (no swimming) and a pier."
