Personally, I like almost any beach, but for our family, there is one in
South Carolina that we keep finding ourselves...
It is a relaxing family resort on the Isle of Palms, which is about 25
minutes away from Charleston. It has a quiet atmosphere but still
offers plenty of fun activities for both adults and kids. There are bike
trails around the entire neighborhood, lagoons for aquatic life, two golf
courses, lots of tennis and pickleball courts, kids' day camps, family excursions, a
central pavilion with entertainment, ice cream, and other refreshments,
and, most importantly, lots of protected beachfront. An added plus is
the easy access to wonderful food, shopping, and sightseeing in
Charleston. For us, that is an extra special feature since my husband
and I were married in that charming southern town :).
We have had several summer vacations in Wild Dunes with our family, and at times, with friends. It
never fails that we always leave with lots of great memories and hopeful
anticipation of returning soon!
