Peak Season Beach Rules for Pets in Effect April 1

As of April 1, 2026, the Town’s Peak Season rules about pets on the beach are now in effect. Pursuant to Section 32-44 of the Town Code, also known as “Beach Rules for Pets Ordinance,” the beaches of Seabrook Island are divided into three zones. The requirements for each zone during the Peak Season are provided below:

Restricted Area (Red)

  • The restricted area begins at a line extending from Boardwalk #1 (Community Center Boardwalk) to the Atlantic Ocean and continues in a northeasterly direction to Captain Sams Inlet.
  • No pets shall be allowed within the restricted area at any time, whether on or off a leash.​

Limited Restriction Area (Yellow)

  • The limited restriction area begins approximately 300 yards northwest of a line extending from Boardwalk #9 (Pelican Watch Boardwalk) to the Edisto River and continues in a northwesterly direction to Privateer Creek.
  • Pets within the limited restriction area must be on a leash at all times.

General Beach Area (Green)

  • During the Peak Season (April 1 – September 30), pets must be on a leash between the hours of 10:00 am and 5:00 pm. At all other times, pets may be off a leash, provided they remain effectively controlled while on the beach.

​As a reminder, when an animal is allowed to be off-leash, it must be effectively controlled by a competent person from: (a) entering any area on or adjacent to the beach in which a pet is prohibited; (b) destroying or damaging any property; (c) attacking or threatening to attack any person or any other animal or pet in any manner; or (d) being a nuisance to other beachgoers.

When a pet is required to be on a leash, it must be restrained using a physical restraint made of cord, rope, strap, chain, or other material effective for restraining the type and size of the animal to which it is attached. In addition, the physical restraint must be no more than sixteen (16) feet in length, secured to the animal’s collar or harness, and continuously held by a competent person physically capable of restraining the animal. Animals under voice control, or under control of remotely operated devices (such as electronic collars), are considered to be “off-leash.”​

The beaches of Seabrook Island are actively patrolled by code enforcement officers employed by the town, as well as by designated personnel from the Seabrook Island Beach Patrol. Individuals who are found guilty of violating any ordinance of the town may be subject to fines up to $1,087.50 per offense (including court fees) upon conviction.

To report a potential violation, please call Beach Patrol at (843) 718-6083 or Town Hall at (843) 768-9121.
 
The Town’s Peak Season rules will remain in effect until September 30, 2026.

2026 Women Build A Great Success

Women Build Week 2026
Raising Walls and Hope on Johns Island

Sea Island Habitat for Humanity is proud to announce that, thanks to the overwhelming generosity of community supporters and dedicated participants, it has successfully raised over $130,000 to fully fund the materials cost for the 2026 Women Build home.

Women Build Week 2026, presented by Publix Super Market Charities, saw one of the largest numbers of participants in the affiliate’s history. Starting February 23 through February 28, more than 300 volunteers visited the job site, donating their time, muscle, and energy to transform these funded materials into a permanent home for Ms. Carol, a beloved, long-time resident of Johns Island.

Sea Island Habitat for Humanity is the third-oldest Habitat affiliate in the world. Since 1978, they have been working to provide affordable housing for families in need across James, Johns, and Wadmalaw Islands, as well as the surrounding areas. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Sea Island Habitat for Humanity empowers families to achieve the dream of homeownership, creating a lasting impact in our community by providing a hand-up, not a handout.

A New Exhibition at the Gibbes Museum

Rodin: All the Truth of Nature

At the peak of his career, Auguste Rodin was regarded as the greatest sculptor since Michelangelo. He rejected nineteenth-century academic traditions that dictated what was ‘proper’ in art and instead transformed sculpture into an art that conveyed the vitality of the transformed sculpture into an art that conveyed the vitality of the human spirit. Rodin declared “Any artist worthy of the name should express all the truth of nature, not only the exterior truth, but also, and above all, the inner truth.”

All the Truth of Nature will feature fourteen of Rodin’s extraordinary bronze sculptures on long-term loan to the Gibbes thanks to a partnership with the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation and the Iris Cantor Trust.

The exhibit is on view February 27, 2026 through to January 17, 2027.

Art Show April 4, 2026

Some of South Carolina’s leading artists will be participating in the Sea Islands Chamber of Commerce’s 16th Annual Art Show just outside of the Seabrook Island gate. The artists are housed under one big tent, and the event is open to the public. This year’s line-up of juried artists includes: Jennifer Black, Sandra Roper, Lisa Willits, Betsy Jones McDonald, Tina Mayland, Cynthia Houston, Elizabeth Middour, Colleen Wiessmann, and Donna Geriner.

Each of the featured artists is well known throughout the region. The show, which is always held the day before Easter, will be from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. The artists will be displaying original work. Visitors will see oils, pastels, and watercolors, in styles from representational to impressionistic to abstract. Some of the artists will also be painting live, so it’s a great opportunity to meet them and see their creative process in action.

Mark your calendars for April 4, the day before Easter. There’s no better way to spend a Saturday than looking at amazing art in a beautiful outdoor setting.

TOSI Renews Contract with AirMedCare Network

banner town Hall

In 2016, the Town of Seabrook Island entered into an agreement with the AirMedCare Network​ to provide benefits to covered individuals for certain air medical transport flights originating in Charleston County. Under the town’s municipal membership plan, a “covered individual” includes:

  • Any individual who owns property, wholly or in part, within the boundaries of the Town of Seabrook Island, SC (regardless of residency status);
  • Any individual whose residence is located within the boundaries of the Town of Seabrook Island, SC, as documented on a valid South Carolina Driver’s License, South Carolina Voter Registration Card, or lease agreement with a term of at least six (6) months (regardless of property ownership status); and
  • Any individual who resides with and is a member of the immediate household of an individual covered by (1) or (2).

To be eligible for this benefit, a covered individual must be flown by Meducare Air (or any other AirMedCare Network provider) to the closest appropriate medical facility. In addition, the transport must originate from a pick-up location anywhere in Charleston County.

Membership in the AirMedCare Network ensures that the covered individual will have no out-of-pocket flight expenses if flown by a network provider. Under the program, any costs not covered by the patient’s private insurance will be covered under the town’s municipal membership plan. If the patient is uninsured at the time of transport, Med-Trans Corporation will bill the uninsured person at the “Medicare Allowable Rate.” This coverage does not apply to air transport flights on non-network providers, or to flights originating outside of Charleston County.

​The AirMedCare Network is the largest air ambulance network in the United States. Participating providers in the AirMedCare Network provide air ambulance services from more than 245 air medical bases across 32 states.

For more information about the AirMedCare Network, please visit www.airmedcarenetwork.com.
