Spot Guide
Isle of Palms Pier is a user-friendly beach break offering consistent, mellow waves suitable for learners and intermediate surfers. The sandy bottom provides soft landings and forgiving conditions, while the pier itself offers a convenient reference point and some protection from strong currents. Best during fall and winter swells when Atlantic storm systems send cleaner, longer-period waves toward this northeast-facing South Carolina coast.
