Berkeley Electric Cooperative will be performing a planned outage on Monday November 7 from 11:00 PM to 4:00 AM for the following areas: 

Town Hall (2001 Seabrook Island Road)
Racquet Club Drive
Landfall Way

Representatives from Berkeley Electric Cooperative will be going door to door to drop off door knockers as well as sending a digital message to the affected members that have good contact information in our system.  The outage will be done to increase the reliability and some of the issues they have been experiencing with some members on this circuit.  Their plan is to find the source of the issue and improve the reliability.  Unfortunately, they cannot back feed 100% of the members on this line – but will do their best to keep the outages at a minimum.  

Are you interested in serving on a town board, commission or committee? The Mayor and Council are currently soliciting applications from citizen volunteers for appointment to the following bodies:

As of October 1, 2022, the town’s “off-peak” season rules pertaining to pets on the beach are now in effect.  Pursuant to Section 32-44 of the Town Code, also known as the “Beach Rules for Pets Ordinance,” the beaches of Seabrook Island are divided into three zones. The requirements for each zone during the “off-peak” season are provided below:
​​
Restricted Area (Red)

• Boardwalk #1 (Community Center Boardwalk) to Captain Sams Inlet.
• No pets allowed whether on or off a leash.​

 
Limited Restriction Area (Yellow)

• 300 yards northwest of Boardwalk #9 (Pelican Watch Boardwalk) to Privateer Creek.
• Pets allowed but must be leashed at all times.

​
General Beach Area (Green)

• Boardwalk #1 (Community Center Boardwalk) to 300 yards northwest of Boardwalk #9 (Pelican Watch Boardwalk)
• During the “off-peak” season (October 1 – March 31), pets allowed off-leash at all times provided they remain effectively controlled while on the beach.

​
​As a reminder, when an animal is allowed to be off-leash, it must be effectively controlled by a competent person from: (a) entering any area on or adjacent to the beach in which a pet is prohibited; (b) destroying or damaging any property; (c) attacking or threatening  to attack any person or any other animal or pet in any manner; or (d) being a nuisance to other beach goers.
 
When a pet is required to be on a leash, it must be restrained using a physical restraint made of cord, rope, strap, chain or other material effective for restraining the type and size of animal to which it is attached. In addition, the physical restraint must be no more than sixteen (16) feet in length, secured to the animal’s collar or harness, and continuously held by a competent person physically capable of restraining the animal. Animals under voice control, or under control of remotely operated devices (such as electronic collars), are considered to be “off leash.”​
 
The beaches of Seabrook Island are actively patrolled by town code enforcement officers during the off-peak season. Individuals who are found guilty of violating any ordinance of the town may be subject to fines up to $1,087.50 per offense (including court fees) upon conviction.

To report a violation, please contact Town Hall at (843) 768-9121.
 
The town’s “off-peak” season rules will remain in effect until March 31, 2023.

Earlier this week, we posted notice of a temporary closure of the Seabrook Island Road bike path due to the installation of drainage improvements at the entrance to Seafields. The town received word from the developer this afternoon that the work has been placed on hold due to a conflict with an underground utility line. Therefore, the path will remain open to bike and pedestrian traffic for the remainder of this week. 

At this time, it is expected that the work affecting the pathway will commence next week, and the path will be closed to traffic at that time. We will post additional information on our website (www.townofseabrookisland.org) and on Tidelines (www.tidelinesblog.com) once the dates are confirmed. 

For more information, please contact Seabrook Island Town Hall at (843) 768-9121.
