Isle of Palms Magazine, Summer 2016

n idyllic summer trip to the isle of

Palms is the source of countless nostalgic memories for

both young and old: the smell of salt air seducing your

nostrils; the feel of silky sand or sticky pluff mud be-

neath your feet and between your toes; innovative and

not-so-well-thought-out sand castles; floats; fishing;

boating; beach games; watersports; and more.

Every summer, when the water warms, school is out and vacations are on

the sun-splashed horizon, the barrier island offers the opportunity to add to

the nostalgia with new memories. When it’s time to head toward the ocean on

the IOP Connector, across Breach Inlet from Sullivan’s Island or aboard a boat,

your new adventure should begin with a trip to the Isle of Palms Marina.

Owners Brian and Beth Berrigan modeled the Marina Market to

cater to boaters and children, similar to the marina Brian remembers

fondly from his childhood.

“I grew up on Hilton Head Island, but we would spend our summers

at my grandmother’s house in Niagara Falls,” Brian explained. “I have

great memories riding big wheels to the marina there. It’s the first place we

would go. The marina here creates similar memories of family fun for kids

today, and the parents really enjoy it, too.”

The Marina Market offers a wide range of beach and fishing supplies, bait,

tackle, a variety of children’s beachwear, floats and toys, as well as the most

popular brands of clothing, accessories and gear for adults.
