The Isle of Palms
offers every activity imaginable. Whether you are
the adventurous type, or prefer to relax under the
warm South Carolina sun, you’re sure to find your
own special kind of fun. If salt water is your
passion, you will love the Isle of Palms! Great
surfing, swimming, windsurfing, surfcasting and
offshore fishing are yours for the asking. You’ll
also enjoy crabbing and shrimping in the beautiful
creeks and deep green marshes that separate this
semi-tropical island from the mainland. There is
also a beautiful family-oriented park located
directly on the beach!
Although separated from the mainland, the Isle of
Palms is in no way isolated! It is both a
residential and vacation island, featuring numerous
shops offering a full complement of goods and
services. You’ll find a complete selection of retail
and specialty shops, as well as real estate offices,
a grocery store, numerous restaurants, ATMs, day
care facilities and churches. The Isle of Palms
hosts several annual events such as the Isle of
Palms Connector Run/Walk and the Beach Run.
The Isle of Palms offers a wide range of
accommodations that stretch from one end of the
island to the other. Choices include hotels,
condominiums, villas and private homes available
through rental agencies.

Poe wrote his famous story The Gold Bug
while stationed here, and it is the burial
site of Seminole Indian Chief Osceola. Other
historic sites include the Sullivan’s Island
lighthouse and numerous shore batteries that
provided defense until the end of World War
II.

Nestled on the
northeast end of the island is the

sandy beach, luxurious ocean front
accommodations, a “Top 50” tennis center, 20
swimming pools, great restaurants, a fitness

designed by Tom Fazio. |

The Links
Course features two finishing holes that hug
the Atlantic Ocean and was ranked among the
“World’s Greatest 100” by Golf Magazine. The
Harbor Course is a challenging test of
target golf that actually takes you
island-hopping. Accommodations at Wild Dunes
include one- to four-bedroom villas and
homes, as well as the Boardwalk Inn and
Boardwalk Villas.
