Shop productsVisit the storeAn island with rivers on both sides
Daniel Island is bordered by the Wando River and the Cooper River, with tidal creeks running in from both. The Daniel Island Property Owners’ Association runs two community boat landings: Beresford Creek, for Daniel Island Community Association residents, and Ralston Creek at Great Oak Park, for Daniel Island Park Association residents. Both are private, member-only facilities inside residential neighborhoods.
Beresford Creek is narrow, and the landing’s rules limit boats, including the trailer, to 25 feet and make the whole area a no-wake zone. On the island’s waterfront, near Waterfront Park at the end of River Landing Drive, there are docks but no boat ramps. The nearest public ramps are across the river: Remley’s Point, where the Wando flows into the Cooper, or the R.M. Hendricks landing on the Cooper in North Charleston.
If your boat lives on a lift, at a private dock or in a garage between trips, the routine changes. You don’t always have a hose and a wash rack handy, boats stay closed up in humid weather, and the gelcoat on a lifted boat gets the same afternoon sun every day. A ceramic coating, a waterless wash for quick cleanups, and a plan for mildew go a long way. From the island, our store is about 13 miles away, roughly 22 minutes without traffic.

Daniel Island care notes
Lifts, docks and closed-up boats each need something different.
Boats on a lift or at the dock
- Keep a waterless wash and a stack of microfiber on board for quick cleanups when a hose isn’t handy.
- Spray an SiO2 topper after a wash to keep a coating slick and water beading through the season.
- Check the side of the hull that faces the afternoon sun. It usually needs protection first.
When the boat sits
- Clean and fully dry cushions, lockers and the head before you close the boat up.
- Use a mildew preventer on soft surfaces after you clean them, so mildew is slower to come back.
- If you’re planning a ceramic coating, polish with a prep polish first so the coating bonds to clean gelcoat.
