The have a water station to rinse your feet after playing in the sand. The park has a entrance fee, but I'm not sure what it was since my friends had an annual park pass. Parking was plentiful There is a nice gift shop to which you need to walk through to get to the pier. I found some cute souvenirs as touristy prices. The pier has a gigantic chair for photo opts!

The park was clean and easy to navigate. The beach is absolutely stunning! I love that there were pavilions close to the beach as well as a park! The shower house was clean and easy to access. It's nice to be able to go home clean from the sand. The day we went the beach wasn't crowded, the sand was nice and soft especially when walking barefoot. This is a must visit spot!

The marsh is characteristically majestic. The businesses aren't much. It's always nice to get a bit of that fresh sea air, but compared to, say, the similar Shem Creek boardwalk in the Charleston suburbs, this one is nothing to write home about. Parking was a tad confusing but out on the street appeared to be free. I'm sure that eating on the water is nice, but food options are better elsewhere in my experience.

It seems after much frustration, they did something different this year and had openings so I booked over thanksgiving. I planned to leave a bit earlier but we decided to leave closer to 5 and what would normally be a 30-40 min drive was about an hour and a half. The traffic was backed up, which is no surprise but there is likely improvements that can be done here-- like checking tickets at gates rather than another option. We also had a handicap decal but no one directed where it would be, I guess we had to ask or notify sooner. Once we got through the gates, we were moving. Parking was quite a bit away which was challenging for my mom who has some hip issues. We got in, no issue and I was concerned about making it all the way through but there's plenty of time to slow down and enjoy. The had hot chocolate which was the perfect touch of a freeezing night, as well as alcoholic options. The indoor train exhibition is also a must see! Overall, I would highly recommend, it was absolutely beautiful and an experience to ring in the holidays. Get there early to enjoy and make sure to check for tickets and follow for when they go on sale!

The entire experience was so well organized, and everyone working there was incredibly kind and helpful. Walking through the lights was mesmerizing. The level of dedication and hard work that goes into putting something like this together really shows. I also loved that you could grab a glass of wine while walking around, and there was a good food selection with options for everyone. It's such a special experience and truly something people of all ages can enjoy. So grateful we got to experience it--absolutely worth it and something I'll never forget.

There is nothing interesting to look at. It is nothing...literally. Then, to add insult to injury, they want you to pay for it. Good grief!

It leads to a firm, flat and pretty beach though the amount of pizza and ice cream and beachwear spots around suggest that it's going to be a bit more Atlantic City than I would care for. Thankfully, all of that is closed for the season in mid-March. But it does mean the parking is free! [Review 19397 overall - 971 in South Carolina - 367 of 2023.]
