Explore the Charleston Coast

Charleston
Charleston is — well, Charleston. One of the world's great cities, our lady preserves the best of the old and seems to constantly remake itself. Always relevant, yet obliging, we think it is grander than ever. You will too.
 
Isle of Palms
Isle of Palms is a residential and vacation island just 20 minutes east of Charleston. Easily accessible by car and boat, it offers miles of white sandy beaches, shops, restaurants and a relaxing Southern lifestyle.
 
Folly Beach
Once known as the local beach hangout, today Folly Beach is fast becoming Charleston's hub of surf-side activity. Folly Beach remains a short drive from Charleston, yet it's now populated with unique and fun restaurants, shops and nightspots.
 
Kiawah Island
Kiawah Island is perhaps the most spectacular and lush resort ever established on a barrier island. It's also home to one of the southeast's four Diamond oceanfront resorts and is 21 miles southwest of Charleston.
 
Seabrook Island
Seabrook Island is an island of vacation homes, villas, two golf courses and unspoiled beaches. Seabrook Island offers a relaxed, independent vacation atmosphere.
 
Sullivan's Island
Sullivan's Island is where the well-to-do of Charleston used to summer. Now it is more of an upscale bedroom community of Charleston. Sullivan's Island still sports a kind of sleepy charm characteristic of its past.
 
Wild Dunes
Wild Dunes is a 1,600 acre, private oceanfront resort and residential community on the eastern end of the Isle of Palms near Charleston. The resort offers world-class golf, tennis, restaurants, pools and beach facilities for residents and guests.
