Maxim’s sexy beach award goes to Isle of Palms

By Ashley Thiesen Caldwell | June 26, 2009

South Carolina’s own Isle of Palms beach has been named one of the nation’s six sexiest beaches by Maxim magazine.

As quoted from the July 2009 issue, “This seven-mile-long and one-mile-wide barrier island has pristine beaches littered with smoking-hot rich ladies lured in by high-end shops all over the island. It’s like chum for sharks. (Sharks who are into really expensive handbags.)”

What’s probably most interesting about this ranking is the surprise reaction from a couple of locals.

IOP Mayor Dick Cronin was quoted by the Post and Courier as saying, “Good golly. This is totally unexpected.”

Elizabeth Maybank, a columnist from the Post and Courier, even wrote a satirical column on the ranking. “The place where SpongeBob arm floaties are the latest trend, and there are one-piece bathing suits, not bikinis, as far as the eye can see,” Maybank wrote.

Either way, you’ll have to check out Isle of Palms and determine if Maxim called it correctly or not.
