The Seabrook Island Property Owners Association (SIPOA) manages all access to this private community. Access is managed using vehicle passes and guidelines limiting the days/times access may be granted. Commercial access rules apply to any commercial business entering the main gate or the gates at the Bay Pointe and Salt Marsh developments.
Entry Requirements:
Any commercial business (vendor, estimator, appraiser, contractor, or service provider), must buy an access pass before access is granted, even if entered online as a commercial guest of a Property Owner. There are no complimentary commercial passes.
Property Owners may not request a Visitor/Personal Guest pass for a commercial guest. Any commercial guest using a “visitor pass” may have access privileges suspended or revoked and receive a citation.
Exempt Services: USPS, and other couriers, clergy, and some home delivery services such as Lowes or Best Buy that charge a premium to deliver on Seabrook Island are not charged for entry.
There are two methods for Commercial Access: Daily Passes and Annual Barcodes
Commercial Vehicle Daily Access Pass
Obtaining a Daily Pass for 2-Axle Vehicles
2-Axle commercial vehicles obtain passes at 1900 Seabrook Island Road. Stop here before you go to the gate. Vehicles with 3 or more axles go directly to the gate. SIPOA accepts credit/debit cards and checks only.
