Word on the street
What locals are saying
Station 22½ sits in Sullivan's Island's busiest cluster — the stretch where beach access aligns with the island's restaurant row — making it the most convenient and most crowded entry point in summer. The raised boardwalk is longer than most at around 600–1,000 feet, threading past marsh vegetation and the backsides of some of the island's finer homes, but the walk earns its keep: a broad, clean beach with notable tide pools and enough elbow room to breathe if you get there before midday. Parking off Atlantic Ave exists, but it evaporates fast, and the gap between where you leave your car and where the path begins can surprise first-timers.
