Located on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway near Little River in Horry County, SC, this access point sits beneath the US Route 17 bridge spanning the waterway. The fixed bridge has a 65-foot clearance with a 90-foot width, making it navigable for most recreational boats and kayaks. This is a convenient launch point for paddlers and boaters accessing the Intracoastal Waterway corridor in the North Myrtle Beach area.
**Important Note:** Be aware that this access site has experienced temporary closures in the past. Before planning your trip, contact SC DOT or local authorities to confirm current operating status. When transiting under the bridge, exercise caution due to potential currents and traffic. If multiple vessels need to pass simultaneously, cooperate with other boaters by queuing in order of hull speed to ensure safe passage for everyone.
