    We stopped over here on our way to Dowry Creek from Georgetown, SC. We specifically stopped due to having read it was great for pet access. Unfortunately, I can't agree with that portion. The anchorage is nice and quaint but we currently only have a kayak so we had to kayak our dogs to shore. We anchored at Hardy Creek between the sign and the shore, as close to the "dead end road" access as possible without hitting the 1 ft shoal, in 4.5 ft. It was still a long kayak run to shore. The other side of the bay was undeveloped, and looked better for shore access, but had white posted signs on all trees and I wasn't sure what they said. Didn't want to risk being shot at or whatnot, so we chose the Hardy Creek side. I had 0-1 bar with AT&T. If you don't have pets, or do have a dinghy and can go further faster, this is a nice area. Spacious. Had a nice Sunrise.
