The beach was beautiful! Nice sand (not too many rocks) with hardly any trash around. I heard that the bathrooms weren't the nicest, but they have them right on the beach, so I can't really complain about that. Even when there were a lot of people down at the water, it didn't feel crowded because there is plenty of shoreline to walk down and find your own oasis. I walked on both sides of the beach entrance. There is a large-ish set of stairs to get up to the parking lot or campground making this beach not very handicap friendly. The day use fee is $10 per car. While the water was cold, it was nice to walk along the shore and it is open all the way to the concrete ship which is now broken near the pier. Lots of pretty rental houses sit right on the shoreline as well, which are nice to walk by and enjoy looking at. Very nice beach all around.

What can I say, we love this beach! Clean sand, clean facilities, and one of the 3 beaches in SC where they allow bonfires (so long as they are in the provided fire rings). The beach is in a little cove so it isn't super windy. Stretches all the way to Del Mar beach but is less crowded. Easy access to the camp grounds and hiking trails around. While we have no problem paying to park inside (gotta support our state parks and beaches!), there is relatively easy access from the nearby neighborhoods, and we often walk along the bluffs when we don't have a lot of equipment with us.

Nice day even though the fog rolled in fast, it made for a beautiful, but spooky scene. My family and I went in the water anyway, the waves weren't big, people were fishing right from shore near other swimmers, they caught quite a few fish too. I have never been on any beach that has as much sea creatures close to shore as this one did. Something swam between my legs about 2 feet deep and almost made me trip&fall, but i ran so fast I am not sure my feet were even touching the sand at that point. There were hundreds of pelicans & seagulls as well as a couple of seals within swimming distance from the shoreline. & the kids had fun building stuff with driftwood and collecting sandstones too

Went camping there. Beautiful area. Nice weather and beautiful scenery. I recommend it.

Beautiful beach with campground on the bluff above. Weather is variable. Campground is mostly flat and spacious, really feels secluded despite being right in town.
