Isle of Palms Marina
Tucked inside the gates of Wild Dunes and sitting right at mile 456.5 on the Intracoastal Waterway, Isle of Palms Marina is a full-service spot with premium dry storage, wet slips, and transient dockage if you're passing through. You'll find a double-wide public boat ramp, well-lit floating docks, private showers, city water, and complimentary Wi-Fi — plus boat rentals and a boat club if you want to get out on the water without bringing your own. It's a surprisingly polished setup for a barrier island marina, with the beaches of Isle of Palms and the wider Charleston area just a short trip away.
