  SO much fun!

  This beach is incredible when you go during the off leash dog hours. So many dogs having the time of their lives! My golden retriever loved every minute. If only they had the off leash rule all day long!

  Best Dog Beach

  Friendly natives, everyone picks up after their own dog, nice stretch of beach for walking, early morning is best. Great placed to watch the sunrise or sunset.

  Dog Heaven

  I have been taking my dogs to Sullivan’s for years. Always tons of dogs. Times change throughout the year, so check their site. Pretty sure after the off leash time ends, all dogs must leave beach. Even leashed. You can always go to IOP after.

  don't like the tax

  $35 per dog yearly use tax. Not very friendly

  Highlight of our trip! We parked along the street for free on Station 18 1/2 Street (check parking rules; tires should be off of pavement; pay attention to "No Parking" signs; parking easier to find in off season). Our dog loved being able to run the beach off leash! We had attempted other beaches that required dogs to be on leash and it is just not the same. There were so many dogs on the beautiful November day we decided to visit this beach which made it even more fun. The area around Station 18 1/2 has a nice little sand bar area as well. We will undoubtedly be back and will plan on staying closer to this beach next time! **Remember, practicing responsible dog ownership habits like cleaning up after your dog and watching your dog closely allows us all to enjoy places like this beach! I hope you enjoy your time here as much as we did!

  beautiful big beach

  Great beach for dog lovers! It is big and spacious. Dogs are allowed off leash in the morning until 10am I believe. Though I was there in November the afternoon and still had my dog off leash - no one seemed to mind.

  MY MISTAKE

  My previous post was directed at Morris Island.

  Sorry to everyone on Sullivans Island.. it's GREAT!

  Kidding?

  This place takes a seasoned captain to get to and then only at low tide. The currents are so bad... 10 Knots when the tide turns.

  I sure would hate to see a dog go out to sea.

  I can't believe they would post that on this site.
