Growing in popularity as a residential and resort island, the city of Isle of Palms features six miles of wide, white-sand beach. Newcomers to the Charleston metropolitan area will want to explore Isle of Palms for its lovely homes but also for its summer beach vacation appeal. Thousands of visitors from near and far flock to the island for sand, surf, and relaxation. The world-famous Wild Dunes resort nestles at the northeast end of the island, offering premier amenities that include Tom Fazio-designed golf courses. The Wild Dunes Yacht Harbor is one of the finest marinas on the entire Eastern seaboard. Charleston's urban amenities are just around the corner, but the island supports a pleasing variety of commercial conveniences including shops, restaurants, and services.
