Shipyard Beach Access

Beach access with ample, free public parking. Beach is a short walk from parking area. Dogs are welcome on or off leash providing owner asserts appropriate control and animal is responsive to commands.

Open beach access, peaceful atmosphere with low tides, highly walkable, pet-friendly, and awesome coastline scenery.

This beach access is a great spot for both residents and guests of Shipyard Plantation to enjoy a pristine slice of Hilton Head Island. The amenities are excellent, including clean restrooms and rinse stations that help you wash off the sand after a fun day at the beach. The boardwalk leading to the beach is well-maintained, offering easy access to the soft, clean sand and beautiful views. One of the standout features is the relative seclusion of the area. While it can get a bit crowded during peak times, it generally offers a peaceful and relaxing environment, making it an ideal spot for families or those looking for a quieter beach experience. For visitors with bikes, the beach is very bike-friendly, and the walk to the beach isn’t too long. While parking can be a challenge during busy times, the dedicated spaces for guests and the nearby overflow parking help mitigate that issue. The presence of a small snack stand selling drinks and light snacks also adds a convenient touch. Overall, I highly recommend Shipyard Beach Access for anyone looking to enjoy a clean, well-maintained beach with great facilities. However, keep in mind that it is more geared toward those staying in the Shipyard area, so access may be limited for the general public. If you're lucky enough to have access, it’s a wonderful spot to unwind by the ocean!

Not a ton of parking spots available, but other than that it's great! There is a drop off location, which helps a lot. The boardwalk to the beach, bathrooms, and rinsing stations are well maintained, and the beach is clean and beautiful.

Beautiful Beach and great beach access. Only a few minutes walk from where our condo was. Was not crowded at all, but I'm sure as it gets warmer that will change. You are only aloud digging one foot holes when you're kids are playing in the sand and you have to fill them back in before leaving.
