The shop is quite decent, offering a variety of useful fishing and beach items. I had to purchase sunglasses due to the windy conditions on the beach, and they were reasonably priced. The view from the pier, especially during sunset, is absolutely breathtaking at the far end.
I have been going here since i was a kid and now taking my own children. This place is great for little kids at low tide. Fiddler crabs, small fish, hermit crabs, and other small creatures everywhere. Bring a bucket and a small net and explore! Be careful of the current off shore as the tides are changing.
This was a great state park. The people in the office are very friendly and helpful. The camping spots are very roomy with trees and vegetation separating them. It is very clean. The showers/ bathrooms were remodeled and super clean. The beach is beautiful and I crowded.
You are very close to the lighthouse. The view was well worth the walk up the stairs. There are several wonderful restaurant within a 15 minute drive. There is also a super Walmart very close for all your camping and grocery needs. Note: this is the low country of SC so it gets hot and steamy in the afternoon. :)
We fall in love with this beach!!!🤩
It was our first time visiting this area in SC, we definitely want to make this a family tradition. The water was at its perfect temperature, we got a beautiful sunset 🌅 people was having the best time.
The first time here, even though the waters were rough, it was a nice outing to stay in the shore, swim, and sunbathing. In addition, there are a variety of gift shops and restaurants. Don't come on Mondays. Most of the eating places are close. We found an ice cream shop that was open. It was 1pm.

The pier itself could use some general rehab but it appears to be privately owned and I'm not sure the $1 access fee ($12 if you fish) will cover it. But it is a great addition to the beach. You should go. It provides good views and a pleasant diversion to the otherwise overly relaxing atmosphere that Holden Beach promotes. The restaurant at the entrance to the pier could make a killing if it was redone and provided a good assortment of food. As it stands I'm not sure it is even functional.
We had a fantastic time at the beach. The parking, facilities, and beach access are conveniently located near shops, restaurants, festival grounds, restrooms, showers, and a small boardwalk.
