Renovating the Crab Dock

One of the SIPOA facilities available to all is our very own Crab Dock. Recently the viewing platform was rebuilt to allow for easier and safer access for crabbing, fishing, and enjoying the sunset. There are future plans to include improvements for kayak launches and an upcoming project to build a living shoreline system to promote oyster growth and vegetation along the marsh banks – thanks to the SIPOA Environmental Committee led by Jeff Davis, and the Seabrook Island Green Space Conservancy. .

Yard Debris Removal Update & BW 7 Closed

Yard Debris Removal Update

SIPOA’s yard debris contractor, Sandlapper Waste, has been working hard to remove yard debris associated with the storm on Saturday. They filled two trucks today and plan to return to the island on Friday to continue removing yard debris. 
Residents are reminded that only Property Owner-generated yard debris is to be placed on the curb. 
If you have a landscape contractor working on your yard, the contractor needs to haul away that yard debris rather than placing it on the curb. 

Thank you for your cooperation as we work to keep our roadways clean.

Boardwalk 7 Closed

The beach has experienced some erosion at the bottom of Boardwalk 7. The drop-off from the bottom step to the beach/rocks is currently unsafe. 

The boardwalk is temporarily closed until further notice.

According to John Lassiter, President of Seabrook Island Property Owners Association (SIPOA), in the August issue of Currents:

Sand Recycling along Boardwalks 7, 8 and 9: Our engineering team and consultants have been closely monitoring the status on the beach along this area and paying careful attention to the integrity of the dunes and impact on nearby villas and Club properties.

Erosion has continued to limit access and require regular repairs to the boardwalks and stairs to the beach. Beginning in October, SIPOA will resume scraping sand north of Boardwalk 1 and bringing sand to the area in front of Beach Club Villas and Pelican Watch Villas.

This is the same process we used in late 2024 to add sand along most of our beaches to retain broader strands for each of us to enjoy. Though this process is expensive, dredging like the project underway at Isle of Palms runs more than twenty times this project’s cost.

SIPOA Infrastructure Master Plan

Community Education – SIPOA Infrastructure

SIPOA maintains a wide range of infrastructure on the island, including stormwater, roads, beaches, and lakes. In an effort to help educate residents on how SIPOA manages this infrastructure, we have created an Infrastructure Master Plan. This page serves as a dashboard that outlines SIPOA’s infrastructure management practices. Each month, we will highlight a different piece of the Infrastructure Master Plan.

STORMWATER OUTFALLS

A stormwater outfall is the point where stormwater leaves a stormwater pipe and enters the downstream marsh.

The marsh is always changing, and the path the stormwater takes from the pipe to the tidal channel must be maintained as part of the stormwater infrastructure.

This summer, the engineering interns completed an in-depth survey and condition assessment of all 64 stormwater outfalls on Seabrook Island. The results of this study are presented in one of our newest pieces, the Stormwater Outfall Management Program. This program outlines past, present, and future outfall maintenance practices.

We hope that this tool helps residents understand more about this piece of SIPOA’s infrastructure.
