Beaches · Greater Charleston Free 4.7

Front Beach is the couple of blocks on Ocean Boulevard where Isle of Palms keeps its bars, ice cream and surf shops, with the sand directly across the street. It is the loudest part of the island and the only part with anything open late. Parking is metered and scarce, so most people walk or ride in.
