◂ Back to Posts

Charleston is well known for its history, shopping and fine dining, however another perk of this gorgeous city is the different options for beach lovers. Take a tour with us as we explore our favorite spots to have fun in the sun!

Isle of Palms We love the recreation opportunities that the Isle of Palms has to offer visitors and residents alike. Ride through the many bike paths throughout the island and enjoy the beautiful beaches! The City is also home to an oceanfront County Park at the center of the island. This facility has lifeguards, dressing rooms and refreshments.

Sullivan’s Island – Sullivan’s Island is a popular spot for fishing, crabbing, surfing, kayaking and even stand-up paddle boarding. The area also boasts a restaurant district, from local BBQ joints to fine dining establishments. Known for its lighthouse and home of Fort Moultrie, Sullivan’s is a truly beautiful beach town.

Folly Beach – On the west end of the island, beachgoers will find Folly Beach County Park. Lifeguards are on duty seasonally along a beautiful beachfront designated swimming area. Skimmer Flats, a major Eastern Brown Pelican rookery, is visible at the west end of the park.

Morris Island – Morris Island is an uninhabited island, accessible only by boat. It is also the site of the Morris Island Light, a lighthouse that stands on the southern side of the entrance to Charleston Harbor, north of the of Folly Beach.

Kiawah Island – Kiawah is the perfect, private waterfront escape for leisure and fun activities. This beautiful beach is the epitome of the Kiawah lifestyle; build a sandcastle, take a dip in the swimming pool and enjoy exciting water sports.

Seabrook Island – Seabrook Island is a private, welcoming oceanfront community just miles from downtown historic Charleston. The coastal barrier island is home to lush maritime forest, serene marshes and pristine beaches – fun for the whole family!
