Here's what ActiveCaptain has to say about Dewees Inlet:
Dewees Inlet
Position
Latitude: 32°49.313'N
Longitude: 079°43.105'W
Notes
Dewees Inlet had a depth of about 2 feet over the bar in June 1983, thence deeper water inside to the Intracoastal Waterway via Dewees Creek. The channel is narrow, unmarked, and seldom used. Breakers extend across the entrance to the inlet. An overhead power cable over Dewees Inlet has a clearance of 87 feet.A water tower at the pleasure resort near the southwest end of the Isle of Palms and a lookout tower on Dewees Island are prominent. An unmarked fishing pier projects seaward from the resort. Two wrecks, about 0.35 mile apart, are off the eastern shore of the Isle of Palms about 1.5 miles 107°30' and 1.6 miles 120°30' respectively, of the water tower. The wrecks are believed to be the remains of Confederate ships which were apparently sunk by Union forces as they sought to slip into blockaded Charleston Harbor; they are unmarked and are covered 6 feet and 4 feet, respectively. An obstruction, covered 9 feet and unmarked, is about 2.55 miles 125° from the water tower. Caution is advised in this area.
I'd say you pass on that entrance.
