Just for fun. off hwy 17 turn off at porters neck rd head to the end of the rd. make a left on bald eagle ln. approx 3 houses down you'll see a grass field on the right side this field is public access. don't let the golf course people tell you otherwise. the house across the street from the access point in owned by Mike Bass. in case the golf club gives you a hard time. you will need beach wheels. but you can push off here. lots of protected water here on the intercoastal, if you feel adventurous you can walk the boat in a foot of water across the inlet to the ocean. and surf launch. the locals call this area the "red neck riviera" good luck
