A new community park near Singleton Beach, to be called Folly Inlet Beach Park, will eventually include beach access, additional parking, picnic facilities, tennis and basketball courts, fields and pathways. The park is the first stage of a four-year plan to build Chaplin Community Park. The park will span the town's 80 acres between William Hilton Parkway and the ocean, from Singleton Beach to Burkes Beach roads.
All beaches are public.
Access to the beach, however, may be private, as in plantations or other residential areas.

Animals are not permitted on the beach between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. from the Friday before Memorial Day weekend through the Monday of Labor Day weekend. From Oct. 1 to March 31, dogs and other animals must on a leash or under positive voice control. Owners are required to pick up and dispose of their animal's waste.
