Isle of Palms: Not clearly marked
About
Isle of Palms: Not clearly marked is a public beach access point in South Carolina, managed by the City of Isle of Palms and located about 1.7 miles from the town of Isle of Palms. The access is a straightforward way onto the beach, and its name suggests it may not have a prominent sign. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 82°F and October highs near 78°F, while July highs average about 91°F. For a change from the sand, Patriot's Point Nature Trail lies about 7 miles away.
