Crabbing
Catch your dinner!
Fripp Island offers great crabbing throughout the island's waterways. Docks that extend out into the colorful marsh and tidal creeks provide the perfect environment for blue crabs to thrive. Grab your gear and catch your next meal!
Located on the south end of the island, the Wardle’s Landing Pier offers the perfect place to crab and fish on Skull Inlet. It also offers a fantastic place to catch Fripp Island's beautiful sunsets; be sure and bring your camera. You may even see a dolphin or two swimming through the inlet. With all of Fripp's wonderful wildlife, this is a great place to visit on your next vacation.
You probably won't need a license to crab, unless you're using a crab pot or cage. Learn more.
When fishing for crustaceans or shellfish, a Saltwater Recreational Fishing License is required - unless you are using 3 or fewer drop nets, 3 or fewer fold up traps, or 3 or fewer handlines with no hooks and a single bait per line (chicken necking); or shrimp baiting (which requires a shrimp baiting license).
The blue crab's scientific name, Callinectes sapidus, translates to "savory beautiful swimmer."

A Gnarly Driftwood handle makes this basket unique, it’s perfect for holding a bottle of wine and a couple of wine glasses! Wouldn’t it make a great hostess gift for that special get together?

If you`re not from around these parts, you may have a hard time guessing what these are...
Crabbin` has gone festive! ❤️💚 Christmas crab pots (well, not really, but I love these Christmas colors!)

Checking the crab trap right before the big storm! We got absolutely drenched while riding our bikes home. #Seabrook #CarolinaBlueCrab #SouthernTide #SouderSea

The Crabbing Dock is a great place to try your hand at crabbing. It offers a sheltered pavilion, large dock stretching into the tidal creek and beautiful views. You can crab anytime but will probably have the best luck when the tide is either coming in or going out. As mentioned above, you probably don't need a fishing license unless you're using a crab pot.
Located at the end of Fiddler's Ridge Road, the dock is accessible by foot, bike or golf cart. When you reach the end of Fiddler's Ridge Rd., the entrance to the dock looks a bit like a residential driveway. Stay the course and you will find another of Fripp's treasures.
Head out for some great seafood at Bonito Boathouse, Dockside or Fishcamp on 11th.
