Isle of Palms

Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway just 12 miles from historic Charleston, the Isle of Palms features a beautiful beach, championship golf & tennis, a marina, and endless recreational opportunities both on and off the water.

The sun rising over the Atlantic, teeing off on a Tom Fazio designed golf course, a refreshing swim in the ocean, and a bike ride along the beach. This and more defines the “island lifestyle” found at the Isle of Palms.
