We love taking our dog on walks at Surfside beaches.........Everyone does.
The summers have certain rules and hours.
You should be fine for this time of year. Note the area where none are allowed.......
But, it is a very pet friendly area. Its nice seeing everyone enjoy their beach walks with their pets along.
On Pawleys Island beach, dogs must be on a leash May-October...
It's just recently been brought to the attention of town council that SC state laws require that all dogs be leashed any time they are off of owner's property. Municipal regs can be more restrictive but not more lenient. PI's attorney is reviewing the status of this issue, but it's likely PI will need to comply unless the state law is amended in some way.
Simon is usually on a leash except when he is at our local dog beach, where it is not required. If dogs go into the water, does the dog have to be on a leash? I can't imagine that the 6 foot leash would work in the water.
I don't know the regs but we are in Garden City Beach (beside Surfside) and the lifeguards are very strict on dog ordinances in our area. If it is 9:01 a.m., they kick those of us with dogs off of the beach. However, I see dogs in the water without leashes all of the time. The lifeguards never say anything to owners about that on our strip of beach at least. I've had dogs (not on leashes) run up to me and my dog, who is always on a leash. I think as long as the animals are "under control" and not causing issues, they are lenient on the 6 ft leash thing. You should probably always have a leash with you and use it when you and the dog are just walking on the beach. I think if you take it off while he/she is running into and out of the water, you are probably ok. These are just my observations on Garden City Beach and their enforcement rules. I understand Surfside is much more strict because we have folks from Surfside coming over to Garden City with their pets.

This is the cutest dog park. It has a large dog side and a small dog side.......The dogs seem to have such a fun time there. Turn at Seagate Village.......Enjoy!
Thanks Summering. If we get there on Friday, this might just be the place. I want to check out the State Park and see what is at the old AFB. Haven't been there in years.
We are going to be traveling to Surfside Beach next weekend and we wanted to bring our dog. It will not be fun to bring her though and leave her inside the hotel from 9-5! Is there anywhere like a dog beach that they are allowed to be? These rules seem pretty strict and not fun for those of us with four legged buddies!
