Beachside Charleston Single Homes
Here's another view of the Wild Dunes Boardwalk pool that I featured a few days ago. This time with a little more context. It seems a fitting farewell to summer as we enter into Labor Day weekend.

Boardwalk South Pool Plotagraph
I've experimented with Plotagraphs for a while now but this is the first one that has made it to my blog. This is the south pool at the Wild Dunes Boardwalk Pavilion. It was still early in the morning and the water was calm, leaving tranquil reflections on the bottom of the pool.

Last Week
As summer comes to an end, I was reflecting back at all of the great places we've gone over the break. This photo is from the patio at the condo we stay at each summer at Wild Dunes.

Easing into Evening
We spent last week at one of my favorite places in the world, Wild Dunes. The pool pictured here, Palm Cove, was one of five pools within a five-minute stroll from our condo. It's also the most unique, with a natural, beach-like zero-entry grade on one end. It makes it great for families with little ones who aren't swimming yet. Now that our kids have morphed into fish, we spent a little less time at Palm Cove than we have in the past as we explored the other pools and ocean.

Sun-Drenched Pool Deck
"Summertime... and the livin's easy."
Nothing says summer to me like the Boardwalk pool deck at Wild Dunes. The sandy colors of the deck and the rainbow of pastels from the Charleston single homes lining the boardwalk are the perfect backdrop for a relaxing day at the pool.

High Dive
I love the symmetry of the homes and Boardwalk Inn at Wild Dunes. It's a beautiful place to be from the air and the ground.

Last Light on Morgan Creek
The weather has been so warm this week that I've been daydreaming about long summer days at the beach... and trips to the Morgan Creek Grill at the Isle of Palms Marina. Just around the corner from Wild Dunes, the Marina makes for quick excursions around Charleston's barrier islands. And at the end of the day, Morgan Creek Grill makes for a memorable meal as the sun sets across the water over Goat Island.

Capers Island Dream
During one of our past visits to Wild Dunes, we took the Delphinus from the Isle of Palms Marina to Capers Island for a sunset tour. As soon as we hit the beach, I sent up the drone for a different perspective. The forest off the beach is so thick, I'm not sure you could make it through if you wanted to on foot.

This video was captured with my old DJI Phantom 2 but if you're in the market for a drone today, check out the DJI Mavic Pro.
Over The Village at Wild Dunes
We spend a beach week at Wild Dunes each summer and nearly always stay in one of several condos at The Village. There's a nice continuity to the trip each year that makes it really easy to quickly slip into relaxation mode. There are a handful of pools within a five-minute walk from The Village and one of our favorites, Palm Cove, is right in The Village.
