Traffic Coming Onto Seabrook Island

As we all know, traffic can get congested at the gate as visitors come to spend their Fourth of July holiday and summer vacation on Seabrook Island.

Gate pass data shows that the peak hours of visitor arrivals are from 2:00 pm to 8:00 pm during the weekend. During those times, visitors passing through the gate may average over 100 vehicles per hour! Since the Fourth of July is on a Thursday this year, we are expecting volume to be high the weekends before and after the holiday. The rest of the summer weekend traffic may also be busy.

You may want to plan your trips back to Seabrook Island sometime before or after these hours if possible.

Please advise your personal guests, rental guests, and contractors arriving during operating hours to stop at the SIPOA Daily Pass Location to obtain their SIPOA gate pass.

Reminder: Fourth of July Traffic Disruption

Please plan in advance to avoid delays

8:30 am – 9:45 am, July 4
Seabrook Island Road from Royal Pine through the Village will be closed to traffic. Please use Seabrook Island Road by The Lake House.

9:30 am
Seabrook Island Road in front of The Lake House will be closed until the parade passes. Use Seabrook Island Road through the Village.

Seabrook Island Road in front of the parade will be one way counter-clockwise only until the parade passes. Traffic will then return to normal.

These procedures have been planned and agreed on by The Lake House Management, the Head of Security and the Team Leader of CERT.

We apologize for this inconvenience, but the disruptions are to ensure a safe and fun parade.
