Facing the sea and flanked
by a series of five barrier islands, Charleston has a wealth of
oceanfront homes to suit a variety of tastes. On the historic
downtown peninsula, grand antebellum mansions and plush modern
condominiums offer views of Charleston Harbor, Fort Sumter and the
Atlantic Ocean, as well as the colorful assortment of sailing
vessels, cruise liners, freight ships and shrimp boats that ply the
sea channels. For those who want the sound of pounding surf, nearby
Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms, Folly Beach, Kiawah Island and
Seabrook Island all have distinctive ambience and amenities only
minutes away.
For quiet, family-freindly relaxation,
Sullivan's Island features a mostly-residential community of
charming homes and breezy half-acre lots with a three-mile stretch
of pristine beach. On the Isle of Palms, life is livelier along six
miles of sand and extravagant oceanside homes, with a bevy of
seafood restaurants, shops, as well as two golf courses and a marina
at Wild Dunes Resort. Folly Beach is a colorful three miles of beach
and maritime forest that features an upscale mix of oceanside homes
and condominiums in a down-to-earth community known as "the edge of
America". Kiawah and Seabrook Islands are famed as golf resorts and
offer more than twelve miles of white sand beach, premiere
new-construction oceanside homes, as well as seven championship golf
courses and acclaimed dining.
