About Isle of Palms

Isle of Palms is a barrier-island city just east of Charleston, set along the Atlantic Ocean. Its beach identity grew in the early 20th century, when a pavilion, amusement park, and trolley connection from Mount Pleasant helped turn the island into a getaway. Today Isle of Palms is known for Wild Dunes, public beach access, Charleston County park facilities, and a mix of year-round homes and vacation rentals. It feels coastal, upscale, and closely tied to Charleston's beach life.
