According to CDC data, Charleston County currently has a “substantial” rate of transmission and is one of 41 counties in the State of South Carolina with a transmission rate of “substantial” or “high.” The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) has adopted the CDC’s updated guidance and is now recommending that all South Carolinians, including those who are fully vaccinated, wear their masks when indoors and in public settings in areas with “substantial” and “high” rates of transmission. Based on state and federal recommendations, all visitors and staff, including those who are fully vaccinated, will be required to wear a mask or face covering while conducting business inside Seabrook Island Town Hall beginning on Monday, August 2nd.

Joe Cronin Town Administrator Town of Seabrook Island The town was recently notified by its beach patrol provider, Island Beach Services, of an incident that took place in the Atlantic Ocean off of Seabrook Island.
At approximately 8:00 pm on Sunday, June 6th, 911 received a call regarding a young female who had been bitten in the water near boardwalk #2. Charleston County EMS and St. Johns Fire District were immediately dispatched, and Island Beach Services was notified shortly thereafter. As the town’s beach patrol had concluded for the day, a beach patrol officer was dispatched to the scene from the contractor’s headquarters on Kiawah Island. The beach patrol officer arrived at the scene and was able to assist with transporting the patient from the beach to the ambulance. The patient was subsequently transported by EMS to a local emergency room where she was treated for minor injuries consistent with a shark bite. While the likelihood of being bitten by a shark is very small, there are several steps that beachgoers can take to reduce the odds of an unwelcome shark encounter:
As we move into the busy summer months, it’s important to remember that the waters of Seabrook Island are home to a variety of wildlife, including Bonnethead, Atlantic sharpnose and Black-tipped sharks; stingrays; and various types of jellyfish. Beachgoers should always exercise caution when entering the water. In the event of a bite, sting or other emergency, dial 911 for medical assistance. |
