If you're headed to one of the five main public beaches here in Charleston this
summer, I'm here to let you know about some rules regulations and tips to make
it more enjoyable for you and everyone around you. Starting right now!
Hi I'm Bill Olson with ERA Wilder Realty, I'm a realtor here in Charleston
South Carolina and today we're going to be talking about some rules and regulations
and just overall tips to help make your beach trip safer and more enjoyable for
you and everyone around, you whether you're a visitor
or a local alike. Starting with Folly Beach some of the main rules are you're
not allowed to have alcohol on the beach at any point. Dogs are not allowed on the
beach between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. from May through Labor Day and all
other times they must be leashed. For your safety there are lifeguards in two
different spots on folly beach. At West End County Park and from 2nd street East
to 3rd Street West and they will be on duty from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Parking on folly beach is mostly public parking, just make sure that all of your
tires are off the road. There are a bunch of paid lots right around the pier and
you can also pay to park down at the county park for your enjoyment.
On Sullivan's Island there is no alcohol allowed on the beach at any
point. Dogs are allowed leashed on the beach but there is a permit required.
Parking on Sullivan's Island is mainly public street parking where all four
tires need to be off the road. It is swim at your own risk on
Sullivan's Island as they do not have any lifeguards on duty at any point.
As with all the other beaches again there is no alcohol allowed on Isle of Palms
Beach at any point. Dogs are allowed on the beach at all times but must be
leashed except for the hours of 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. where you can let fido
run free. Lifeguards are on duty at the Isle of Palms County Park from the hours
of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the summer months and there is plenty of on-street
and paid parking for everyone on Isle of Palms. BeachWalker Park on Kiawah
is open during the summer months from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
There's no alcohol allowed on the beach and dogs are allowed at all times but
must be leashed during the summer months.You will find lifeguards there from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. daily and parking Monday through Friday is $10 and it is $15 on
Saturdays and Sundays or free with your Charleston County Park pass. Last but
not least Edisto Beach. Edisto is the only beach in the area that does allow
you to have alcohol on the beach but nothing can be in glass bottles, so make
sure you pack those cans. Dogs are allowed at all times on Edisto Beach but
must be leashed from May through the end of October. There are no lifeguards
actively on duty on Edisto Beach and there are 37 public access points where
you can park from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. to access the beach. Well there you have it,
