About a 30-minute drive from Charleston, the largest city in South Carolina, Isle of Palms is a city set on a narrow barrier island. Famous for its miles-long and sandy Isle of Palms Beach, it’s the perfect nesting ground for sea turtles. For relaxing, picnicking and volleyball, you can visit the beachfront Isle of Palms County Park. To walk back in time, take the 6.6 mi (10.6 km) drive from the centre of the island to the adjacent Sullivan’s Island and check out Fort Moultrie and its national historical park, a significant site during the American Civil War.
On your next trip to this part of the state, ditch the bustling Charleston and instead escape to the oceanside vacation rentals of the serene Isle of Palms. For more information, keep reading to learn about the top beachfront Airbnb vacation rentals in Isle of Palms, South Carolina.
