- The shorebreak can make entering and exiting the water more technical depending on the tide.
- The current can be more pronounced near shallow areas, and one must remain attentive to drift.

Isle of Palms
Front Beach in Isle of Palms is a seaside spot near Charleston, with easy access and a very urban environment for the southeastern coast of the United States. It is a spot appreciated for its wide beach and its rather local use when the conditions align.
The area is convenient for navigating on the oceanfront, but it is more interesting when the wind is clean and well-placed. The atmosphere is less wild than on other beaches in the region, with a resort-like setting and a practice that depends a lot on the day's conditions.
