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.

Travel & Vacation: Isle of Palms Beach
On our way to the beach!
One of the benefits of traveling with the family is we get to enjoy some pretty amazing scenery. When we travel together for work we try to squeeze some fun activities in as well. I am thankful for the great memories and fun times together with my family this year. Charleston is one of the locations we have been multiple times over the last several months. Here are some pictures and memories from one of our trips together.
Isle of Palms Beach!
One of our favorite spots to go is the Isle of Palms near Charleston. They have a great beach area with life guards. The girls always love our trips to the beach.
Karlie is ready to head to the beach! She is waiting patiently as we get everything out of the van.
Brina is ready for our family beach day!
Heading into the water! (Karlie, Daddy and Brina)
Splashing around in the water, the girls can stay at the beach for hours.
Two little chickies buried in the hot beach sand. They were really still until we were done burying them.
After several hours of splashing in the water, digging in the sand, and collecting sea shells the girls were still going but we took a break for a snack and a little quiet time in the shade before heading back out for more fun. The girls have a blast at the beach. We saw dolphins several times while we were swimming and playing in the sand at Isle of Palms. It was wonderful having some extra time to relax and spend time together.

Travel & Vacation: Fun Day at Isle of Palms Beach
Beach day with my three favorite people! I love my family and am thankful for the amazing opportunities we had the past few months. It was wonderful sharing so many great memories together at home, the beach and traveling! One of our favorite spots to visit was the beach at Isle of Palms near Charleston, South Carolina.
Crazy crew at the beach. The girls have such different personalities! Karlie has to wear her goggles in the ocean where Brina prefers not having anything on her face in the water.
Swimming in the ocean. It always amazes me how long the girls want to stay at the beach. Usually Jake and I end up decided to go because we are exhausted not because the girls are asking to go. It is not uncommon for us to stay for 6 to 8 hours swimming, building sand castles, collecting sea shells and eating our picnic lunch. Although, the girls typically crash on the way back to the hotel or home.
Karlie Kool Kat having a blast Enjoying her time swimming in the ocean. Thinking she is pretty cool swimming on her own (at least until the next big wave comes)!
Mommy and her girls Swimming together at Isle of Palms. Love spending extra time with the family at the beach.
Brina Bee swimming in the big ocean by herself. Brina all smiles swimming on her own in the big ocean.
Digging around in the sand Sometimes just digging around in the sand is the most entertaining. We typically do a sand castle and just let them play to their hearts content. One of those times playing in the mud is just plain fun!
