Visited Thanksgiving week - cool and windy, but beautiful! Just a few others on the beach, including a photographer and family being photographed. Nice shaded parking area with restrooms. Beach-mat walkway across the sand. Good walking beach, but maybe not a swimming beach - lots of seagrass/reeds on the beach. Off the beaten path, but well worth the side trip. Less than 4 miles from our condo.

This is the spot for finding fossilized sharks teeth. The flats are teeming with hermit crabs. Nice rest rooms & plenty of parking. Most people congregate on the beach near access from parking lot, but there is a a lot of available beach space in either direction. Private and commercial planes fly overhead on their way to and from the airport. Some nice photo ops & the air traffic noise is not constant and lessens if you move away from the beach access.

Absolutely fantastic find! Went a low tide and had to walk through mud but the kids loved it. So many sea creatures to find and the boys loved the planes flying overhead. Left and came back at high tide so see even more creatures. So much sand and lots of room to play. Bathroom is nice on-site and cant wait to go back

Great day at the beach. This beach is dog friendly and parking is just a short walk to the beach. Has a nice walkway to the beach. Great at low tide. Plenty of sand and shallow water for kids and fur babies. Nice place to see birds, watch hermit crabs and find some shells. You can also see some planes fly over.

Great beach to visit while in Hilton, Sc. We visited twice while there. It was never crowded and it was beautiful. Kids enjoyed each time. Airport is close by so great view of planes coming in for landing. Cant wait to visit again.

My kids and I went to Fish Haul after it was recommended place to get some good shells they wanted for memories of our trip. The beach is gorgeous and the shells were amazing! Loves that the water wasnt too deep so even my youngest could just go splash around. Lots of cool hermit crabs to see and we even spotted a few cool jellyfish! Will definitely be back here!

Lovely beach with ample parking. Rest rooms and trash containers are convenient for spending a nice day at the beach. This beach is at the confluence of the ocean and Broad River. Parris Island can be seen from the beach. Wildlife can be seen here.

Great for walking the beach. Not crowded at all. Clean restroom at the entrance. If you want to playin the water, check the times for high tide! At low tide the water can be a couple of hundred yards out from the main beach and then only be knee deep!

Beautiful beach for nature lovers. Found several small shark teeth. When the tide was out, it was amazing.

One of the most beautiful beaches Ive been to! Not over crowded. Beautiful views. Wildlife everywhere.

We actually started out at a totally different beach, but we did not like it that much over there, plus we did not have enough quarters to stay very long because they charged for parking there. THIS beach does NOT charge for parking!I read online somewhere that the beach would close at 5:00 p.m., however the signs up along the drive in said that the beach closes at 9:00 p.m. Im not sure which is correct.The car GPS did not get us to the right parking lot, but we did find it manually with the help of the Maps app.I liked this beach because it was not so crowded, had things of interest along the shore, plus was only a short walk from the parking lot. It also has a restroom. I did not explore the whole thing, but it looked like there were interesting walkways to explore beyond the beach.

This beach is more natural than the other island beaches. This was our first time visiting, and we really enjoyed it at low tide, because the waves were calm, lots of shells, and there was a lot of wildlife to see! Perfect for little ones.

Facilities have been upgraded and parking is better. A different kind of beach great for walking or clamming.

Great beach to see natural wild life. Little critters like crabs turles and even the seagulls. Me my wife and 5 sons had a ball at the beach this 2020 Labor day weekend. We choose the beach because it has no amenities and tend to not draw much of a crowded the down fall was the land is in between to large bodys of land trapping the water in a low sub ocean floor which make tides recedes quickly so my 2 pm the tide move further away then normal beaches do. This left little tide pools behind. There are bathrooms on-site here.

Parking and bathrooms right there at the beach. Had a nice walk path to get to the beach.

This morning at fish haul beach we were walking back toward the entrance/exit of Fish Haul Beach. We always take notice of the people around us, as we would never allow our dogs to approach people or other dogs on leash. I like to think we are responsible and caring of others rights to appreciate the beach with their four legged besties. We were leisurely walking at the waters edge and I happened to notice a lady w two small dogs( at the dunes) go running run off of thebeach (We assumed it was bc if rain). Our dogs never acknowledged her or her dogs and were too far away to to illicit any fear. Let me restate that our dogs NEVER SAW, APPROACHED, OR HAD CONTACT WITH HER OR HER DOGS. We continued our morning ritual, enjoying the waves/ doggie swims/ and lots of ball chasing UNTIL.....5 min later she came back to beach without her dogs. She WAS running toward us yelling and calling for us. Khan our black lab/terrier mix who loves head rubs and lots of attention went to greet her. Normally, we would have calls him back however we thought she was coming to say Hi....Unbeknowst to us she was approaching us to scold us about our dogs off leash (which is legal and we were more than 200yards from her when she spotted us) and she took HER dogs to car. She came back to beach and was holding a KNIFE and screaming that dogs neeedd to be on leash BC they will attack her and her dogs! She literally pulled a knife as she walked toward us cussing us about our “unsafe animalMost people on this “local beach” have their dogs off leash and are respectful and kind and love to play. I’m hoping this lady is a vacationer and will never return.I’m still anxiety ridden over my experience today and might stick to our second fave dog beach (Burke’s).HAPPY LABOR DAY YALL

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. THIS was the highlight of our Hilton Head week. Its enchanting to go at low tide and just walk and walk. We renamed this beach potato chip ridge beach because of the sand formations, snail shell beach because of the snails, and heaven because of the surroundings. Thank you to everyone who maintains this beach.

Hard to rate a beach. It all depends on what you like. Private feel but not great for swimming. Apparently its a shark superhighway according to some of the locals there. Good enough info for me to go in to about my knees! Not today sharky!!!

My first time ever at Hilton Head as well as this beach and I really enjoyed it. Nice and quiet and a lot less crowded than most beaches. My daughter really loved it here. Plan on going back soon

Nice quiet beach on the inlet. Not crowded at all but if you want waves and deep water its not for you. Good shell and hermit crab hunting.

I was visiting and was recommended this beach. It wasnt crowded but there is a nearby airport and there are several planes landing every hour. Just be aware before choosing it.

Beautiful, quiet beach on north Hilton Head. Clean beach with loads of area at low tide. We visited during the week and there were very few people on the beach. Directly behind the beach is a part of the marsh. Very pretty area.

Its pretty and quite, but every time we have went, all at different hours of the day, its always seems ro be low tide. Also ita really muddy walking up to the water when it is low tide. Theres so not much space for lounging. Better spot if you want to take a few pics and can actually find a time when you dont have to walk so far to get to water.

This is a nice beach for kids and family its a lot less crowded and the waves are a lot less intense. Theirs tons of wildlife here like hermit crabs and seagulls and even a Crane or 2 pretty neat place.

Not great for swimming, especially during low tide. Lots of wildlife of every kind. Easy access and plenty of free parking.

Great beach for nature, a secluded feel and scenery. It is probably really nice in the cooler months as swimming isn’t great here and it’s not as breezy as the open ocean beaches. At low tide it is a long way out to the water and the sand at times is like quicksand. Lots of birds, hermit crabs, fiddler crabs, deer tracks

Off the beaten path for sure. Definitely follow GPS and trust it will get you there lol. My son wanted to look for shark teeth. We found a few and TONS of shells. Not overly crowded either. But you do need to follow the tide chart. I like that you can rinse your feet off after by the parking lot and the bathrooms are a big plus too!

Very cool, quiet little beach, walkway to soccer fields, nice place for some exercise!

Beautiful beach. Very clean and not super busy. Enjoyed our trip immensely!

Beautiful natural beach. Not crowded like the more popular spots on the island!

Very nice beach with lots of wildlife. Definitely go at low tide!

Nice quiet beach. Interesting toilet set-up in mens bathroom

Such a beautiful beach. It was perfect for the wedding ceremony and such magical pictures!

Lovely beach. No vendors so bring your own snacks, drinks, chairs etc. More of a state park vibe.

Great beach especially if you prefer nature and not crowds

Excellent park for families that want to enjoy the beach without too much of a crowd. Just remember to bring a blanket/ chairs to sit on, none are provided at this little gem

This beach can be great. Not crowded and a decent place for finding shark teeth. Ive gotten some amazing family photos at this beach. Theres a bit of pluff mud when the tide is out so just be sure to watch your footing. Theres a bathroom and foot shower at the beach entrance with a small, shaded parking lot.

Definitely more of a local beach which is great since its my local friends that took me here. Very quiet and clean. There is an out door shower and public bathroom which are clean. Parking is free and the walk to the beach is very short compared to the other beaches. You can fish here and it is pet friendly. There are barely any waves here and you can walk far out. Especially at low tide. Good for shell picking as others have said. Also it is in the flight path for planes as they land at HHI airport. They fly right over the beach. Its loud but awesome to see them so close. Definitely will be going back when Im in the area again.

Nice little beach for shell hunting and walking. Nice restrooms and Free parking!!

Spent a lovely morning walking the beach. Nice and secluded, away from large crowds. The parking area was mostly shaded, somewhat small. There are clean, well-stocked bathrooms just off the parking lot.

Beautiful beach that is more local oriented. Lots of parking and a restroom available. There is a very short walk to the beach which is just beautiful and much less crowded. Its a great place to go to get away from the tourist areas.

Love this park! This is the only beach that we will go to in the Hilton Head area. While its not a super wave beach, if you go just before or just after high tide, the water is fairly deep to swim.

If you are into birding, Fish Haul Beach Park is arguably the very best location on Hilton Head Island to observe and photograph dozens of species. Not very many humans in sight because this park is off the beaten tourist path, but there are often thousands of birds in sight up and down the beach, especially at low tide or early morning after sunrise. Free admission and free parking is a bonus.

Absolutely fantastic natural beach. As it is Bay beach versus an ocean, but we love it as there are minimal waves and its usually not too busy. We try and go closer to high tide as you can Wade a little better. When tide is low, its a fairly long trek out to water and the sand can be a little mushy. We always choose this over Coligny as its so much quieter for us

Very quiet and natural untouched setting. Great for searching for sea shells.

Beautiful low key place. Tidbit approved!

If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful and serene beach visit, this is the place for you. I believe the water is usually much calmer here due to its location on the sound. Bring a float and relax in the water! Also, if you are an airplane enthusiast, you can sometimes catch good views of departing airplanes from Hilton Head Airport.

This is a very chill place to go with the family and not have crashing waves beating on you. The beach is very slow slope so at low tide there is alot of beach to explore. You can walk out into the water seemingly 1/4mi and still be waist deep. Great for lil ones. Only one outdoor freshwater rinse off shower for getting the sand off. Bathroom is well kept and large enough for changing yourself and a few kids. I feel its a good local spot with few tourist venturing to it, otherwise the restrooms may need to be expanded. Parking is shady and free. Short walk to the beach from the car. There is a short drive on a dirt road to get here but seems well kept too.

Our favorite beach on Hilton Head! (Best kept secret... Very secluded to get to and hardly ever busy!) Note... Not easy access to the water, its more of a natural marsh beach.

Make sure to check the tides and go at low tide for shelling. Lots of oyster beds and sand bars to wade out to. Public restroom and outside foot rinse/shower available too.

If you want to see a beautiful sunset, this is the place!! Incredible hidden gem

We love stopping here whenever we are on the island.

Really enjoy the laid back feel of Fish Haul. My family and I go to Fish Haul to collect sea shells. You can see some cool stuff in the water at low tide.

Nice beach Great walkway access definitely a place to find shells can sit on the beach and watch the planes fly over head as they land at HHA

Nice for wild life lot of oyster beds not good for swimming.

So cool looking very clean! But wasn’t that accessible

Quiet beach experience in Hilton Head. Free public parking, relatively clean beaches. Great for families when you dont want the crowded experience of other area beaches. No lifeguard on duty so swim at your own risk. Beautiful area. Lots of shells to comb through!

We love Fish Haul , so much wildlife and we always find lots of shells and crabs .

Great beach overall, highly recommend it. Dog friendly, free parking, clean restrooms, rinse off area, quiet & clean environment. Very fun and relaxing place. Great for kids as the water isnt to shallow and when the tide starts lowering you can find crabs and shells. Will definitely be ckmimg back.

We enjoy visiting this beach and looking for sea shells.

One of the quieter beaches on Hilton Head. Its a nice place for a quiet walk with senic views. The adjacent freedom park has a nice trail leading to the beach.

I absolutely loved Fish Haul Beach Park. We went when the tide was out. We found beautiful shells of all shapes and sizes. If you love to hunt for shells and watch the ever changing tide this is the beach for you. Every time we walked the shoreline you would turn around and so much more beach was exposed. Not really for swimming. I loved it and will go back.

Beautiful beach, off the beaten path. Great for shells. Free parking, and easy access.

Beach area great for allowing visitors to see a natural ecosystem. Within 10 minutes, my 13 year old son found his first shark tooth. Another in our party found a few, including a tooth about an inch and a half long!

Beautiful. Its like your own private beach!

Great place to go for finding shells and shark teeth, if thats your thing, definitely less busy than other beaches here(which Im all about)

Great place to relax without all the people...

Great place as it is less crowded than the other beaches on the island

We were able to get into the water and we couldnt believe how calm the water was! There was wildlife in the water that we could see for long distances. Everyone in the park was very nice and the rangers were very helpful and friendly. We spent the afternoon at the park and was able to relax and enjoy every minute of it. There was picnic areas, rest rooms, and plenty of parking for everyone to not be right on top of each other.

Nice quiet when I went by early morning lovely surroundings sounds of the water coming up to beach.

Great spot to see some different types of sea creatures. Go there at low tide and you will see some amazing things.

Every day the beach looks different...great get away spot

Friends told me about this beach! Off the beaten path! Road less traveled and always a wonderful place to be!

Perfect beach if you dont like the crowds. Good for walking along the coast.

This is a perfect spot if you like quiet beaches. There are some nice shells to find and plenty of horseshoe crabs, sponges, and driftwood to take home a nice souvenir. Oh, and you may end up seeing planes take off, which are quite the sight.

Watch for the spiky burrs near and in the grass. In the water, watch for oysters shells sticking out of the sand.

Not crowded. Very natural & beautiful beach.

Beautiful and quiet Not many kidsPelicans and other shore birdsShells. Watch out for jelly fish

Not a big parking area but beach is pretty secluded. Its on Port Royal Sound, not directly on the ocean. Low tide stretches out quite a ways.

This beach is a more natural, less crowded beach that offers smaller waves and ample sea shells for picking.Pros:- not very crowded- plenty of bike and car parking- on-site bathrooms and outdoor shower- natural beauty- small waves (huge benefit for my 3 year-old)- very gentle slope out to seaDownsides:- increased sea shells means the sand isnt quite as soft- the park is in the landing path of the airport- theres more mud intermixed with the sand- the water is very murky

Really interesting, lots of inhabited shells by hermit crabs. Low tide is amazing.

I like walking in this beautiful place

Perfect spot for a much needed small getaway! Bring a book and enjoy the scenery or walk the beach looking for shells. Not prime for swimming, but thats not what I was looking for so it was great.

This secluded beach is great for shells though most have hermit crabs inside. Very muddy in places.

Great beach for finding shells and watching crabs.

An amazing place for seashells and to relax. I highly recommend coming at low tide.

Love this beach! Remember to not litter and fill back in your holes in the sand.

Nice natural beach... perfect for a family photo shoot!

Nice beach away from the hustle of tourism.

Nice place not a lot of people.

Wonderful undiscovered spot. Very laid back nature.

Great beach! Had a blast!

Good beach for kids.water stays shallow a good ways out.

Great beach. Not alot of people at all. Pretty much had the entire beach to ourselves. When the tide is out the beach stretches for over 200 yards.... when the tide is in its never more than waist high. Kids loved it, great place to find shells also.

Great place to find shells and not crowed at all.

That water is so clean , it was beautiful

We personally had an awesome time at this beach. If you want to swim and catch big waves, this is not the beach for you. The water is very shallow unless you go super far out. The sand is beautiful with lots of shells. This beach is clean. We went in the middle of the day and it was practically empty; not a crowded beach. Bathrooms and showers available near parking. If you want to lay in the sand and relax--maybe get your feet wet-- this is the beach for you!

Beautiful beach with incredible views.

Fish Haul beach is my favorite on island. Sea Turtles nest here, it has an amazing high tide and low tide. My kids adore the pluff mud and tide pools. If you walk to the left far far down, there is a mailbox and a desk to write your prayers, hopes and dreams. Its such a beautiful whimsical addition to our island.(Please pick up your litter, cigarette butts, and dog poo bags so we can keep it beautiful!)

Nice quiet beach they cleaned it up real good lots of wild life to see
