The Seaside Inn is located right on the Isle of Palms beach and takes full advantage of the location with its inviting sundeck and common balcony to lure guests outdoors to fully enjoy the salt air, sand and surf. For those who tend to have to unwind in increments and can't quite toss aside their real life persona for a bathing-suited jaunt on the beach right away, there is another sundeck around the accent pool (not meant for swimming but for getting wet) situated on the second level of the facility. Where views can be enjoyed and one can tan up a bit and read a book in relative privacy before hitting the volleyball court on the beach.

For those who prefer shopping to swimming, The Seaside is also conveniently located on the Isle of Palms strip where there are shops galore. And for those who prefer sports to shopping, kayaks, sailboats, windsurfing equipment and canoes are available for rent. The Seaside is also in proximity to the marina where luxury harbor cruise can be booked, deep sea fishing excursions, speed boat rental and sailing are also possibilities. Surfing, parasailing and any other surfside sport one can imagine is available for the asking as well. Isle of Palms also offers basketball courts, soccer and softball fields, and children's programs for family fun. Tennis and golf can be booked and enjoyed at the nearby Wild Dunes Resort, which has rated in the top 50 in the world for tennis and the top 100 in the world for golf.
