As you drive, bike or run across the Isle of Palms Connector, you’re immediately captivated by the smell of the salt marsh and the views of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s almost as if you can see the full 7-mile island as you approach the peak of the bridge.
Wild Dunes occupies 1,500 acres on the northern end of the island. The luxurious resort has two 18-hole Tom Fazio golf courses, 17 Har-Tru tennis courts, numerous pools and a pavilion overlooking the beach and Atlantic Ocean.
Pick a restaurant or bar with an ocean view and live music for a post-swim dinner. Or dine take in the marsh views at the elegant Morgan Creek Grill or try The Boathouse’s fresh, local seafood.
The beach is the main attraction at Isle of Palms. To better explore the marsh and waterways, charter a fishing boat, go on a watersport adventure or boat to Capers Island for a wildlife tour.
