Surfside Beach: 1 South
About
Surfside Beach: 1 South is a public beach access point in South Carolina, managed by the Town of Surfside Beach and located about half a mile from the town itself. It serves as a way onto the beach from town rather than a destination with its own route or trail. For comfortable weather, consider late spring or fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Brookgreen Gardens put May highs around 80°F and October highs around 76°F, with July and August peaking in the upper 80s. Inland trails make for an easy change of pace from the sand. The Yaupon Nature Trail and the Sculptured Oak Nature Trail are both about 4 miles away. The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk lies about 8 miles off, and the Red-cockaded Woodpecker Trail is a little farther at about 8.4 miles.
