Live the Resort Life
When daybreak warms the cool sand, you'll want to walk barefoot at Wild Dunes Resort. It's the perfect moment at this Isle of Palms full-service escape.
You'll find lodging options to fit most any kind of group. The Boardwalk Inn offers 93 rooms and suites and a private tropical pool. Boardwalk homes feature shady beachfront sites. Villas, cottages, and vacation homes nestle into lots on golf courses, a marina, and an endless marsh.
The activities set Wild Dunes Resort apart. In addition to a spa center, it offers a links golf course with oceanfront holes and a harbor course that hugs lagoons and the Intracoastal Waterway. A tennis academy spreads across 17 courts, while kayaking and bicycling give you a different perspective of the barrier island.
Some of the best fun happens under the stars. Locals teach the official South Carolina dance--the shag--on Tuesday and Friday. With a little practice, you, too, can move with the sea breeze and the moon shining overhead.

Tuesday Delights
Wind through the crowds on Tuesday afternoons at the local farmers market. It spreads across a lawn in front of the middle school on Coleman Boulevard in Mount Pleasant. Area growers stack fresh fruits and vegetables on tables alongside chefs in booths with prepared meals and handcrafted breads. Nearby, watermen sell the day's catch. You can get a small bag of kettle corn to munch while you peruse the tents.
