Mild Weather & Stunning Sunsets

There is still mild weather in the Lowcountry during this time of year. Make the most of 70-degree weather days on IOP. If the summer heat isn't your jam, now is the time to take those peaceful strolls on the beach.

While sunrises and sunsets are stunning on the island year-round, the pinks, reds and oranges during the cooler months truly shine- add that to soft, sandy shores and you'll have the perfect, dreamy beach day.
