My pup had so much fun running free on the beaches of Sullivans Island. NOTE: You MUST get a dog license before bringing your dog onto the beach. Simply bring proof of your dog's rabies shots and home-owners/renter's insurance to the Town Hall, pay the $35/year license fee, and they'll give you a numbered collar for your dog to wear at the beach. It's super easy, and the staff at the Town Hall are very nice.
Winter hours (October 1 – April 30): Off leash is 5am - noon; on-leash is noon - 5am. Summer hours (May 1 - Sept 30): 5am - 10am; NO DOGS 10am - 6pm; On leash 6pm - 5am
It's a great beach, clean, fun, and my dog loved running around. I highly recommend visiting.
