Things to do in Isle of Palms

We recently got back from a wonderful beach vacation! We stayed at the Wild Dunes Resort, which is located in the beautiful Isle of Palms, South Carolina. Not only is it a beautiful area, but there are a ton of things to do in Isle of Palms as well.

So I figured it would be fun to share them all with you today. That way if you’re looking to book a vacation there too, you will be all set with this info! If you know me, then you know that we love the Charleston area and Isle of Palms is only about a 30 minute drive from the downtown area!

I have already shared all about the things to do in Charleston, as well as things to do in Mount Pleasant before too. So be sure to check those blog posts out for more information on things to do in the surrounding locations such as Sullivan’s Island too.

This really is a great beach location seeing as how you are close to downtown and other little beach towns too. So you will find plenty of fun things to do in the Isle of Palms for sure! 

Isle of Palms

Enjoy The Beach

Obviously one of the best things to do on a beach vacation is to actually enjoy the beach! You can rent some beach chairs with umbrella rentals, or do like we did and just bring your own! There is a nice walkway to the beach from the Wild Dunes Resort, so it has very easy access to the beach.

Hello Summer
Reading in Isle of Palms
Happy Place
Book by the Beach
The House Maid
The House Maid's Secret
The Only Survivors
Linking all the books I read this week below:

My favorite thing to do is just sit in my beach chair with a good book and listen to the ocean waves roll in. There is no better sound in the world I think to enjoy. We also love to stroll the beach and take walks.

Walking the Isle of Palms
This was right before we got drenched on our morning walk by the beach!

Preferably in the morning though, because it does get so hot and humid by the afternoon! Another fun thing to do on the beach is look for seashells and sharks teeth too! Nothing like a great find like that! I found a few seashells and brought them home with me. And I plan on making an adorable beach craft out of them too, so stay tuned for that!

Isle of Palms Beach
Clean Eatz Maple Nut Crunch
Airplane By the Beach
These snacks from Clean Eatz are perfect to munch on by the beach!

We also love walking the beach at night with flashlights, looking for crabs. We did this several nights and had so much fun. And I’ve gotta say, I think the crabs here are bigger than the ones we were used to seeing in North Myrtle Beach! 

Another really cool thing that we saw while walking the beach at night was a protected sea turtles nest! I have never seen one before and I was so excited to see it in person! Now granted, I would have loved to see a sea turtle in person too, but this was a close second.

Crab Hunting
Sea Turtles Nest

It reminded me of one of my favorite series, The Beach House, by Mary Alice Monroe. This series actually takes place in the historic Charleston area and there are a lot of references to sea turtles and the city of Isle of Palms as well. And I got a few of those books signed from my favorite bookstore in Charleston, Buxton Books, as well! So this was a super cool moment for me! 

Enjoy The Wild Dunes Resort

We actually didn’t get out too much to explore Isle of Palms, SC and surrounding areas this trip. Mainly because we had SO MUCH FUN at the Wild Dunes Resort. You really have everything you need there.

Wild Dunes Shops

And if you don’t want to leave the resort, you don’t have to. There’s plenty of restaurants and shops and activities for you to enjoy while staying there. Which makes it so nice and convenient. It really makes you feel like you are on a true vacation when you don’t have to worry about anything! This really is a perfect place to stay for a family vacation. 

Fresh Oysters
The Oystercatcher Dinner
Blueberry Hand Pie

If you’re a golfer, they have a great links course you can enjoy because of their world-class golf courses there! They also have volleyball courts and plenty of things to do for the whole family. 

Wide View from Rooftop

The resort is actually really big and they have both condos and beach houses that you can rent from as well. The houses here are too cute and actually remind me of Rainbow Row in historic downtown Charleston as well.

There are plenty of water activities and pools at the resort too. There is even an adults only pool, but we mainly stayed at the main pool seeing as how it was close to all the restaurants and shops! 

Wild Dunes Pool View

You can even book a relaxing day at their spa too, if you preferred that over the beach. I woulda loved to try that out too, but you just can’t keep me away from the sunshine and beach while I am there! And to top it all off, they have the cutest little boutique there as well. I got an adorable Wild Dunes sweatshirt there as a fun souvenir to remember our trip!

Best Restaurants In Isle of Palms

I think one of my favorite things to do in Isle of Palms is to just eat as much fresh seafood as I can. And really, most of the best restaurants we went to, were right in the resort. So we didn’t even have to leave to enjoy a great meal!

We absolutely loved Coastal Crust in the resort. We loved it so much, we went there twice in one week. The pizza is phenomenal and we loved having leftovers by the pool the next day too! 

Bread at Coastal Crust

Food At Coastal Crust

Another great lunch by the pool option is their “Tacos & Tequila” food truck. It’s actually a renovated airstream and they serve the best tacos and chips and queso in the world there! We literally had that almost every day for lunch! 

Chips and Queso
Tacos and Tequila

Another great restaurant on site is their Coastal Provisions Restaurant. We went there for dessert one night and it was incredible. However, it is a bit pricey so be aware of that beforehand! 

Dessert At Coastal Provisions

​The resort even has a rooftop bar that offers incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean from the top. I loved just sitting up there and watching the boats and ships pass by! You can see miles of beaches from the top as well.

And, don’t forget dessert! The resort also has the cutest little sweets shop, where you can get delicious ice cream or other sweet treats to end your evening with as well!

Ice Cream At Resort

We did a short drive into downtown Charleston as well for a couple of nights for dinner. We ended up at some of our favorite places, Hall’s Chophouse and FIG, which is located right on King Street. Again, that’s another pricey place, but it’s delicious and great for celebrating! Or just if you want a yummy meal while on vacation!

This was all from our date night at FIG and I loved my cute little vacation dress and accessories! I will link it all below for you too!

Some other of our favorite restaurants are located right on Shem Creek, which is very close to the Isle of Palms as well. We love going to Saltwater Cowboys, and this time we got to sit up top and have a beautiful view with out delicious dinner!

Us Going Out For Dinner
Shem Creek is definitely a fun place to check out! We also love Red’s Ice House there too. And, linking my outfit below:

I shared more about things to do in Shem Creek when we stayed over in Mt Pleasant, because it is so close to that area as well. Another restaurant I heard that was amazing was Acme Lowcountry Kitchen. Unfortunately, we ran out of time and wasn’t able to try that out. But, it’s definitely on our list for next time for sure!

Nighttime View of Shem Creek

Driving Around Isle of Palms

Another fun thing to do in Isle of Palms, is to just drive around and explore! Like I mentioned above, you are so close to many beautiful beaches, you don’t have to stay right at Isle of Palms the whole time!

Republic in Historic Downtown Charleston
As I mentioned, you are just a short drive into downtown Charleston too. So we had to check out Republic, which if you’re a Southern Charm fan, then you know it’s apart of the show too! Also, linking my cute vacation dress below too:

You could drive over to Folly Beach or any other public beach around. They all have easy beach access points. Just be sure to pay attention to the parking signs! They are sticklers when it comes to parking violations over there.

Bonfire at Wild Dunes

Also, on Isle of Palms, there is a fun row of brightly colored houses that you can drive by as well. Such as the Flamingo House, which as you guess it, is all decorated in hot pink, complete with Flamingos! Or the Margarita House, which is a lime green color, complete with margarita decor all round. It’s also fun just to see the regular beach houses since they are all so beautiful!

We like to daydream that one day we could have a beach house like that as well! I would die if I had a house with front beach access!

Why You Should Visit Isle of Palms

Well, as you can see, there are plenty of fun things to do in Isle of Palms! It really is a great place to visit and I highly recommend staying at the Wild Dunes Resort.

Us At Wild Dunes Resort
This was our last night at the resort!

I think this was the first vacation where we really just stayed in place mostly and didn’t venture out too much. Which was so nice! It really made it feel more relaxing and enjoyable that way. And even though the weather wasn’t 100% ideal, most days we did get rain, we still had an amazing time! And we will definitely be back to Isle of Palms for sure! Have you ever been here before too?! And if so, what did you think? Let me know below!

    Anywhere that is near a beach is a win for me as I grew up on the Cornish coast in Britain (which is still one of the most magical places). It seems like you had a really wonderful break and the Isle of Palms seems like such a lovely place to visit!

    This past weekend, I saw on the news that Isle of Palms was overly packed and no one else could get there. I didn’t read the full article so I don’t know all the details. The headline just caught my attention.
    I live dead in between Charleston and Columbia right off the interstate. My Dad lives in Myrtle Beach. 🙂

Remember those patriotic Oreos from last week? Had to level up and turn them into a full-on red, white, and BOOM snack board! 💥🎆
Loaded it with festive treats and yes—I even cut the cheese into stars because we don’t do basic around here.
Easy, fun, and guaranteed to impress the party crew!
Who else is bringing the extra this 4th?! 👇🔥

Why don’t ALL big planters come with a built-in shelf like this?! @veradek, you’ve officially cracked the code 🔥

No more wasting bags of potting soil to fill the bottom—it saves time, money, and your back 😅

Plus… tell me this fern doesn’t look fabulous in it?! 👀💚

Who else needs this in their plant parent toolkit?!👇

Anyone else feeling those post-vacation blues HARD right now?!
The Sunday Scaries hit different when you’ve had a whole week off. I just wanna be a stay-at-home cat mom 😹
But apparently that doesn’t come with a paycheck?? Rude.
Manifesting a fast week and minimum responsibilities. Who’s with me?! 🙃👇🏻

I finally realized I never shared the full transformation of my hubby’s man cave bathroom—and y’all… it’s a whole VIBE.
He picked out all the tile himself from @loweshomeimprovement (I might be a little proud), and somehow this space turned into a vintage dream.
Guess my decor obsession is rubbing off on him! 😍👏
I’ll link the tile and everything he used in my stories today too if you wanna check that out! 😉

Let’s talk about my weirdest collection… 🦷😆
Most people collect mugs or magnets…
But me? I collect vintage tooth stuff 🪥🦷
(What can I say—I’m a dental hygienist by day, collector of quirky dental treasures by night 😂)

I styled it all on a tiered tray in our guest bathroom so everyone gets to enjoy it… whether they want to or not 🤣

Do you collect anything weirdly specific too? Tell me below—I need to know I’m not the only one! 👇🏻

Our downstairs bathroom finally got the glow-up it deserved—and let me tell you, she’s giving anything but basic now 😍
We brought in subway tile, copper ceiling tiles (yes, really!), shiplap, and topped it all off with the cutest vintage dentist sign. Because why not have a little fun with your bathroom vibes?! 🦷🪥
It’s moody, it’s bold, and it might just be my new favorite room in the house.
Wanna see how we pulled it all together? I spilled all the details in the latest blog post 👉 https://morningsonmacedonia.com/barnwood-bathroom-ideas/

Currently thriving in full beach bum mode 🏖️😎 And honestly? This is the life I was born to live.
All I’m missing is my cats and I’ll never come back.
“Stay-at-home cat mom at the beach” just hits different, ok? Way better than scraping plaque for a living 😅 Sorry not sorry, hygiene world!
Catch me living my best coastal cat mom fantasy forever.

I was mad about losing my stock tank pool… but t I was mad about losing my stock tank pool… but turns out hubby’s dream garage is kinda a vibe 😏
Let’s be real—I didn’t document the whole build because I was in my feelings about my backyard oasis getting bulldozed by a slab of concrete 😂 But now? The man cave is up, it’s lookin’ sharp, and I guess I’ll allow it.
He’s turned it into a Pinterest-worthy garage (yes, I said that) and it’s still a work in progress—but I spilled ALL the juicy details in this weekend’s blog post 👇
So go check it out while I go mourn my pool in peace 🫠
