We have a full beach in front of Summer House villas. Wild Dunes with the City of Isle of Palms continue beach restoration! We have been lucky and have had a full beach in front of Summerhouse since the 2008 beach restoration project via hydraulic dredging of 885,000 cubic yards of beach quality sand. Beach restoration has continued since, ensuring plenty of beach. Again in 2017, both directions south and north of Summer House had sand dredging completed, adding even more in front of our condo. The dunes have continued to grow and protect our beach.
There is a full beach all the way around to the bay opening. It's a nice walk on the beach, or bike ride. Bike riding at low-tide is common and fun.
Since I get questions about taking elderly parents on the beach, it is a walk on sand to the ocean but for the most part it is flat, packed sand and easy to walk on. If you’re bringing an elderly loved one or someone with walking difficulties, consider renting a beach-accessible wheelchair. There are a couple local places, but you may want to rent in advance of your stay for availability. Go to iopbeachchair.com
