IOP celebrates completion of new public dock

ISLE OF PALMS, S.C. (WCBD) – Isle of Palms is excited to announce the completion of a new public dock and invites the community to celebrate.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held Friday, Feb. 7 at the Isle of Palms Marina.

“Our public dock was designed to promote community engagement, provide more activities for guests and enhance our coastal environment,” said IOP Mayor Phillip Pounds. “Every individual and family are welcome to stop by and enjoy a variety of recreational activities by our serene waterways.”

Back in September 2020, the IOP city council voted to create a public dock and green space. Construction began in November 2023 and includes a 16-foot-wide pier with a covered area, benches, swings, and a new public dock.

Planning for the greenspace is still ongoing, according to city officials.

The public dock is open daily from sunrise to sunset. Guests can access it for free on a first-come, first-served basis.

To celebrate with the IOP, visit the Isle of Palms Marina from 10:30 – 11 a.m. on Friday.
