About This Beach

Burkes Beach offers a blend of serene natural beauty and family-friendly appeal, though access involves a lengthy walk across sand. While relatively uncrowded compared to other Hilton Head beaches, its calm waters and dog-friendly policy (with time restrictions) draw a diverse crowd. Limited amenities onsite necessitate utilizing nearby Chaplin Community Park for facilities like restrooms and showers.
