The Town adopted Emergency Ordinance 2026-01 (Amended) to establish temporary beach rules while SIPOA conducts its 2026 sand scraping project. The project is expected to be completed by December 31, 2026.
Effective October 15, 2026, the temporary beach rules listed below will be in effect.
Pet Rules – A restricted beach area will extend from Boardwalk #1 to the Atlantic Ocean and northeast to Captain Sams Inlet. Pets will not be permitted in this restricted area at any time, whether leashed or unleashed. In all other beach areas, pets must be kept on a leash at all times.
Beach Fires – Fires, open flames, and propane-fueled grills, cookers, or heating devices will not be permitted during this project.
Nighttime Beach Access – Public access to Seabrook Island beaches will be prohibited between sunset and sunrise.
These rules will be in effect from October 15-December 31, 2026.
