Boater Reviews
Great place to fish. It would be great if there were a few port a potties at the site.
Very scenic and usually serene place at the end of Wadmalaw island, just off Maybank Hwy a bit. Half mile or so. On Cherry Point Rd. Near historic and very photogenic, Rockville, SC.
Awesome mellow place to put in and some good fishing close by! The dolphin numbers are crazy they love the area i guess :) But can a brother get a porta potty !!!
A well-maintained pier and dock. Lots of parking and was easy to find. All of the oyster shells on the beach and the little crabs running around added for some entertainment.
Nice peaceful place. Seen 4 dolphins while I was here and the sunset
