Island Time: Loveable Lowcountry Landmarks

Posted by MPM Leave a Comment

Photo of Isle of Palms, SC businesses on Ocean Boulevard.
You don’t have to travel far to spend time on an island here in the Lowcountry. We’re lucky to have three major islands that skirt the Mount Pleasant area, each with its own unique flair.

Isle of Palms’ laid-back atmosphere has a little bit of everything: an iconic pier, beachy stores, restaurants and live entertainment along Front Beach, as well as other friendly destinations and eateries dotting both the island’s beach and intracoastal sides.

Sullivan’s Island boasts a small blend of eclectically posh shops, popular restaurants and historical landmarks in a small yet charming commercial area.

Daniel Island’s crisp and clean downtown area offers shopping, bright and bustling eateries and a beautiful waterfront area, in addition to national-level concerts.

Here are some ideas of places to check out while you’re spending your day on island time:
