Sea Pines Beach Club Parking

One of the most common questions we receive from our guests is, “Are we allowed to park at the Sea Pines Beach Club?” The answer is that, well, it depends on the time of year! Here is a link to the official 2024 parking plan for the Sea Pines Beach Club and our take on the situation.

Where Is Lot 8 Located?

Sea Pines Resort describes Lot 8 as being near Fraser Circle. This is not entirely accurate nor very helpful for finding the lot. Linda and I are very familiar with Lot 8 as we live around the corner from it. The actual location is just past the intersection of Greenwood Drive and Willow Oak Road West. In the past, this lot has been used as a Media Lot for RBC Heritage, so that’s why the Google Pin is called that. Don’t worry, this is the correct place to park for the Sea Pines Beach Shuttle.

Parking Is Very Limited

Please understand that the Sea Pines Beach Club has limited parking in general. There are only 158 total parking spaces and approximately 6,000 housing units in Sea Pines, 2,000 of which are short-term rentals. If you do the math, this means there is one parking spot for roughly every 37 units of housing. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the odds of getting a parking spot are pretty slim.

Our Suggestion? Bike to the Beach Club

The best way to access the Beach in Sea Pines, including the Beach Club, is via bike. Sea Pines has numerous leisure paths throughout the community, which makes bikes a safe and effective option. If you’re staying with us, you can easily rent bikes, which we will deliver on the day of your arrival and pick up on the day of your departure.
