Your South Carolina Beach Vacation

Isle of Palms Beaches at Wild Dunes

Step onto miles of soft sand and discover your own rhythm, whether it’s a sunrise stroll, a family game by the surf, or an afternoon spent bathing in the sun. Build sandcastles, catch the tides, or bring your own gear for beach games — every experience is yours to make no matter what season it is.

Isle of Palms Beaches

The Heart of Every Wild Dunes Stay 

The pristine beaches of Isle of Palms — where Wild Dunes Resort first began — remain at the heart of every stay. As part of the island’s beautiful seven-mile stretch of coastline, Wild Dunes offers 2½ miles of uninterrupted Atlantic beachfront and a mile of serene inlet shoreline, providing rare access to one of South Carolina’s most peaceful and picturesque coastal settings.

Escape To The Sea 

Find Your Beach Moment

At Wild Dunes, the beach becomes whatever you need it to be — a place to play, to rest, to connect, or to simply be.

Your Perfect Day Made Easy

Beach Chair & Umbrella Rentals

Play the day away — without the hassle of hauling gear. Located directly in front of the Grand Pavilion, Wild Dunes Beach Rentals offers convenient chair and umbrella rentals by the set (two chairs and one umbrella) or individually. Rental areas are clearly marked in red, yellow, and orange zones to help you find your spot.

PROTECTING OUR LEGACY

Beach Preservation

Every footprint tells a story — and at Wild Dunes, we want those stories to last. As caretakers of this stretch of the Isle of Palms, we’re committed to protecting the dunes, wildlife, and waters that make it extraordinary. From preserving sea turtle nesting sites to restoring native vegetation and partnering in local conservation efforts, we’re proud to ensure that the magic of these beaches endures. Because the best part of a perfect beach day isn’t just how it feels — it’s knowing it will be here for future generations to enjoy.

DID YOU KNOW? Sea grass that washes ashore from nearby marshes helps lock sand in place—creating a natural barrier that protects our beaches from erosion. It’s protected by law, so please leave it where nature placed it.

See you at the beach!
