2026 Beach Update: The City of Isle of Palms is carrying out a beach renourishment project, expected to move along the beach in sections between summer and fall 2026. Because crews work steadily down the shoreline, any impact to a specific area is temporary, and the beach stays open with access outside active work zones. A final schedule hasn't been released yet — we're tracking updates and are happy to provide guidance based on your travel dates. Just reach out, or visit our beach project page on our website for the latest.

Pelican Bay 40 is a gem of a Wild Dunes home that overlooks the 5th hole of the Wild Dunes Links Golf Course — a rare view that golfers and casual sippers alike will appreciate from the porch. The setting is quiet, the layout is family-friendly, and the location is right in the middle of everything Wild Dunes does well: beach access, scenic walking and biking trails, dining, shops, and bike rentals are all close at hand.

Pelican Bay guests have access to the Pelican Bay community pool, plus the resort's signature golf, spa, and dining offerings. It's a great fit for families or small groups looking to mix in a few rounds of golf with their beach week.

📌 Things to Note

🏊 Pool Access
Pelican Bay 40 guests have access to the Pelican Bay community pool. Please note that the pools at the Boardwalk Inn, Sweetgrass Inn, and Sweetgrass Fitness Center are reserved for resort hotel guests only and are not available to vacation rental guests. Wild Dunes does not have a central pool open to all visitors — pool access is specific to your community.

🏋️ Fitness
The fitness center at Wild Dunes is reserved for resort hotel guests only. We recommend the Isle of Palms Recreation Center as a fantastic alternative — featuring a cardio room, fitness classes, and brand new courts just a quick drive down Palm Blvd.

Pay-to-play at the Wild Dunes Tennis Center. Free courts also at the Isle of Palms Recreation Center.

⛳ Golf
Pay-to-play on the Wild Dunes Links and Harbor Courses — two championship layouts designed by Tom Fazio.
