White sandy beach. Families relaxing and enjoying the water. There are private homes, seasonal rentals, and various tourist attractions. It's not your typical party goer scene or crowded as Myrtle Beach. It's geared more for families and for anyone looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are various however, limited of shops on the island with a bunch more across the bridge. Food establishments ranges from steak, seafoods, burgers, and pizzerias to ice cream and baked goods. Don't expect any fine dining here. A place with a popular joint called the Crab Shack is indicative and sets the tone of the lifestyle here. I mean half of the places are utensils optional. Let's be honest....did you really come here to put on a pair of heels and dress shoes? There aren't many things to do or places to see on this island but, the charm, serenity and exclusiveness is what makes this place a Gem.

It is obvious that there are a lot of community volunteers that take a lot of pride in this park and make sure it is maintained. My wife said there were even fresh cut flowers in the ladies room. We ended up spending time here twice during our vacation at Myrtle Beach and I can't imagine ever coming this way again and not spending time here. The park has clean restrooms, a picnic pavilion and a playground area as well. It is popular with people for walking their dogs but it was never crowded with people or dogs when we were there. There is an observation walkway/dock over the water and a boat/fishing dock that rises and falls with the tide. There were a few fishermen using the dock as well as fishing from the Intracoastal Waterway bank each time we visited. There is a small parking lot with some additional parking nearby. There was plenty of parking when we visited.

I brought my dog on the beach down the road and got a lot of dirty looks and apparently beaches aren't dog friendly for some reason. So a lot of people had a lot of dogs here walking around. They had two Porta potties that are not well-maintained. You can walk along the walkway, they have a few regular porch swings and a few kids swings. There wasn't any grass for dogs to go to the bathroom which would've been nice.

I heard he was out that morning nearest the high-tide water-line "making sure" hard sand would enable them to also enjoy the beach!! Locally owned & operated for many years!
