Travel & Vacation: Isle of Palms Beach (Charleston, SC)

Isle of Palms Beach

Our family enjoys going to the Isle of Palms Beach while we are in the Charleston, SC area.  We don’t always get a chance to go to the beach, but when we do go we typically go to the Isle of Palms.  It is a big beach, has public parking, restrooms nearby, a life guard near the entrance, and outside showers to rinse off the sand before heading back to the vehicle.  Even with the showers somehow we always manage to bring home some sand with us, but we are getting better.

You can usually find a good spot to set up your tent, umbrella, or place your cooler.  There is a lot of good sand for digging sand castles.  You can usually find some nice sea shells.  Plus there are usually some nice waves to enjoy a refreshing swim in the Atlantic Ocean.   It has always been a really clean beach too.  We have been to a couple of the other beaches in the area, but since we are usually on the Isle of Palms side of Charleston and we enjoy going there we usually end up at this beach.  If you are looking for a good, family friendly beach this is a great place to go.

Scampering quickly out of our way along the sand.

Waves are rolling in nice.  Great day to go swimming.

Relaxing at Isle of Palms

Nice beach and pretty beach houses. There are a variety of stores and restaurants to go to while at Isle of Palms.

Waves continue rolling in peacefully as the day ends.

The “Travel and Vacation” series is an insight into our trips together as a family and ways we relax.  Life is short and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to build memories with family and explore of of the most amazing places during our time away.  Explore with a good attitude, look for fun, and it will be an awesome trip jammed packed with positive memories.  It is refreshing having some time away from the regular routine.  Make it a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet new people and learn.  You just might see or try something new that takes your breath away!
