A public beach that’s open to all. Swim at your own risk or visit the IOP County Park. Follow map below for beach parking.
Located a just a few minutes from Mount Pleasant, the Isle of Palms has plenty of amenities and is a great family friendly beach option. This stretch of public beach has a selection of shops, restaurants and amenities plus public restrooms. The area of Ocean Boulevard from 10th Avenue to 14th Avenue is set aside for beachgoers and is known as “Front Beach.” If you’re not staying on Isle of Palms, plan to arrive early. The Isle of Palms Connector backs up quickly with beach traffic.
Where to park: Parking is regulated along the public rights-of-way from May 15 through Sept. 15 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. In the on-street Beach Parking Zones, parking is free of charge. Adjacent residential areas would become “resident parking only.” Paid parking is available in the Municipal Parking Lots on Pavilion Drive, at Isle of Palms County Park and on Ocean Boulevard between 10th and 14th avenues.
For access to picnic tables, showers, restrooms, seasonal lifeguards and a playground, you might want to park at the Isle of Palms County Park. Parking fees vary by season. The most you’ll pay is $10 per vehicle Monday to Friday and $15 on Saturday and Sunday.
Beach beers: Cold brews, ocean views and live music from a variety of bands make The Windjammer, IOP’s best party spot. Another cool place to check-out is the Dingy right across the street from Windjammer. For a more upscale spot with phenominal views go to the Boathouse at Breech Inlet.
Best selfie spot: Head to the top deck of The Windjammer or Coconut Joes to snap a photo with the vast ocean behind you.
Rules to know: Alcohol is not allowed on the beach. Dogs are allowed off leash on the beach from 5-9 a.m. April 1 to Sept. 14 and from 4 p.m. to 10 a.m. Sept. 15 to March 31. At all other times, dogs must be on a leash – even in the water.
IOP fun fact: Loggerhead sea turtles often lay their eggs at the Isle of Palms from May to mid-August. From July until October, the loggerhead hatchlings emerge from their nest at night and make their way to the ocean. Do not disturb any nests or any hatchlings and be sure to fill any holes you dig on the beach. If you’re staying on the beach, be sure to turn off your porch/outside lights at night.

The Tour Pass for Charleston was so easy to use to get into all the attractions on the list and customer service was quick to respond and very kind. I would definitely purchase again!
Bought the Tour Pass for Charlestown, SC. Besides food I didn’t spend money on anything else— I was able to take Horse-drawn tours- Boat tours and countless free entries to museums, Aquarium etc. I was even telling the Uber Drivers about it so they could pass the info to other tourists!
We purchased the 2 day tour for Charleston and were so glad we did! The 3 premium tours we picked were excellent and we had fun adding the standard tours where we could fit them in. An excellent value. I would highly recommend it.
I was just scrolling on facebook when an add jumped out at me. I was planning a trip to Savannah and trying to figure out what all to do while my family was there. TourPass was a great find because you pay one time and can do multiple things in a day. They have so many options and many of them are must see/do tours so it worked out great. We really enjoyed all the tours we booked through TourPass and the app was very easy to use. I would definitely recommend using it if you’re traveling to any of the cities there are in.
We did three tours, the hop on hop off trolley tour, the guided riverboat ride and the haunted pub crawl. All were easy to find, had great narrators/tour guides and were just a lot of fun. We will definitely return soon!
The horse drawn carriage tour of Charleston was a fantastic experience, our guide Ian along with his sidekick Chester did a wonderful job! We would highly suggest this tour!!
The kayaking experience was a different in that there was not a calming experience through the Marina, you had to jockey around boats and fisherman lines heading out into open water, it was quite busy with both of those issues. This tour was okay.
Great way to see the town! One pass with sooo many options. We went on our favorite tour with this pass. Savannah Port Tour! We got to see so much in a day. Easy to use as well. We had no problems checking into any tour or house. Another good thing about the pass…. Not sure we would have known about all these options without the pass! Many thanks!
I purchased the Tour Pass for two people for 2 days. We started early each day and tried to experience as many opportunities as we could. Using it was super easy and we saved money over the individual admission prices. I highly recommend!
This pass was great. I was able to take multiple tours and they were all included in the price. I will defiantly use this option again when traveling.
We got the 4 day pass and spent 1 full week in Charelston. We scheduled 4 featured tours for each night/day and filled in the rest of the time with the amazing standard tours. It made our stay a great time. I recommend this pass.
We live in Jacksonville and regularly in St. Augustine for day trips or long weekends. Tour Pass was fantastic to use during a recent long weekend visit. We booked the two-day pass to take advantage of our favorite attractions with the added benefit of trying some new things we had not visited in the MANY trips to the Old City. Unfortunately, a hurricane forced the closure of many attractions in the middle of the day on Day 2 but an email to Tour Pass was quickly responded to and offered a great solution. We loved the opportunity to revisit some attractions we had seen before and were excited to experience some for the first time. We could squeeze in quite a few in the one and a half days . We were looking forward to using Tour Pass on our next visit to Savannah!
The tour pass was awesome! We had so much to do and it was very easy and convenient to use. Definitely worth purchasing. You really end up saving money. I wish they would have more than three days max. I would definitely purchase more days. It was a wonderful trip!
Tour guide was very knowledgeable! Pass was a great savings and allowed us to do a lot more things.
Tour Pass was very convenient. Places had my name when I arrived. Didn't have to buy tickets
Just showed my passed and I was in. Got alot for the money. I bought 3 day pass. Used it those 3 days in Charleston.
Me and my besties took advantage of the one day pass! Wow did we get our money’s worth! We didn’t get to do everything, but out of the stops we did visit, really worth the price!! I def recommend! Probs would do it again too!! Ha! Loved it, and such a great time visiting St. Auggie! ;)
