Isle of Palms, South Carolina

Living on Isle of Palms

The Isle of Palms is a beautiful barrier island located off the Atlantic coast of South Carolina. It is just a twenty-five-minute drive from downtown Charleston, making it an easily accessible location.

The island offers an array of activities for both residents and visitors. You can indulge in white sandy beaches, award-winning golf courses, and tennis facilities, or explore shopping centers, beachfront bars, and restaurants. The Atlantic Ocean surrounds the Isle of Palms on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other, providing ample opportunities for water sports, fishing, and kayaking. The Wild Dunes Resort offers activities for residents and visitors alike.

The island boasts an array of coastal residences ranging from beach bungalows to luxury beachfront homes. The local building department is committed to preserving the island's natural resources — the marshes, trees, and wildlife — so the island maintains a high quality of life. The Wild Dunes community at the island's north end has an additional review board that maintains the architectural style, so any new construction is a carefully planned addition to the natural setting.
