Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island are separated by Breech Inlet, the waterway that connects the Intracoastal Waterway to the Atlantic Ocean. Only minutes away from one another, each island has its own special charm. Nearly 95% of the buildings and homes were destroyed on Isle of Palms when Hurricane Hugo slammed into the Charleston coast in 1989. Sullivan’s Island retained more of its original homes and vegetation, but each have the original ambiance of what they once were.
Isle of Palms
Thought to be first inhabited by the Sewees Indians, it was referred to as the Hunting Island because of its lush jungles and wildlife. Also thought to be a sanctuary for pirates in its beginnings, legend has it, there are treasures still buried. The island was the departure point for the CSS Hunley, the first submarine to sink an enemy ship during the Civil War. Purchased in 1899 by J.S. Lawrence, it was renamed Isle of Palms to attract tourism. Since the 1900s, this island has been home to thousands and a favorite vacation paradise for thousands more. Luxury hotels and homes, upscale shops, island themed bars, and seafood bistros and restaurants are part of its community, known as Front Beach. The Windjammer, the epitome of a casual beach bar, is a landmark on the island. Since its opening in the early 70s, barely surviving Hugo, it has stood watch over hundreds of volleyball tournaments and hosted as many live bands. With six miles of unspoiled beaches offering dolphin watching, kayaking, surfing and boating, Isle of Palms gives visitors and residents an ideal location to live and vacation.
