As its name reveals, Isle of Palms Resort & Beach Club is located directly on the beach on Isle of Palms, a small barrier island set just off the coast of Charleston. Relaxation comes easy in this quiet, unhurried atmosphere, but there are plenty of ways to indulge your active side too. If you're the seafaring sort, you'll be in heaven, this part of the Atlantic offers excellent boating and sport fishing. Plan to spend at least one day exploring Charleston, 15 miles away.
