The Isle of Palms is located off the South Carolina Coast near Charleston. This is a beautiful island with palm trees lining the boulevard. there are marinas, restaurants, golf courses, shops, beach houses and miles of beaches. We visited the Isle of Palms a few years back when we were visiting Charleston. My husband fished from the bridge while the kids and I played on the beach far from the bridge. You can watch the many boats that sail these waters too. When we were there, we saw a US Navy ship pass. You cant swim near the bridge cause of the currents. There’s a sign there.
