ISLE OF PALMS

Island days, gently unfolding.

Wide beaches, paddle days, and a relaxed barrier-island rhythm—all close enough for an easy detour.

THE ISLAND, AT A GLANCE

A barrier island made for unhurried days.

Oceanfront calm, close to Charleston.

Isle of Palms is a slender South Carolina barrier island, about 12 miles from historic Charleston. Its Atlantic-facing beach, relaxed town center, and Intracoastal Waterway edge make it equally suited to a morning on the sand or an afternoon on the water.

The City of Isle of Palms maintains current beach rules, parking, shuttle, accessibility, and restoration updates.
