Anyone have directions to strawberry Pointe or maybe it was Strawberry landing and know if you can still park here. It was a Shore dive near Moncks Corner, SC. You had to drive through Francis Marion Sate Park a ways to get to it. I think I know the general area but not absolutely sure on all the details. Can you still park there and use the dock to dive? Any info would be appreciated! I'm planning a trip back to Charleston and want to hit this old hole up!

I really would like someone to PM me with directions and status of parking. This area used to be all trailors, so I'm curious if it's taken off and is no longer accessible.
 
I believe it is still open for divers to use, just pay the $2.00 (was 2 yrs ago) to park your car down by the landing. The directions are take hwy 402 in moncks corner down to Dr Evans rd. Go many miles down, past mepkin abbey. Once you cross the railroad tracks, start looking to your right for Strawberry Chapel. When I'm out there this week with divers, I'll try to see if the landing is still open. Feel free to email me at Terrydive1@hotmail.com with any questions.

That's the directions I remembered. Thanks a ton. SOunds like they doubled the price to park since I dove there in the 90's... ;) Still a hell of a good deal though! Thanks for getting back to me it's really appreciated!
 
No prob, we heard the $2.00 price from someone else, unconfirmed. It's been about 5 years since I've walked in from there. Ever since I got a boat, I just drive by now.

Here is a link to a map I made of many of the places I have found Sharks teeth while diving the Cooper River. Strawberry Landing is on the map. It is private property. It is owned by a friendly elderly woman. She has a box on her mail box labeled donations please. I think it requested a dollar per person (it was many years ago). Stay out of the tall weeds around dusk. Its alligator feeding time and the cruise about. Dive the middle bottom and stay away from the edges.

Confirmed on the $2.00 per person as I ran a class there this week.
