Sullivan's Island Beach
Sullivan's Island
A quiet island town northeast of the city, with a wide beach and boardwalks over the dunes, and a favorite spot where locals eat seafood at small restaurants in the evening.
Sullivan’s Island is about 20 minutes’ drive from downtown. The island has no high-rises or large resorts. Its beach is wide and quiet, ideal for walking, swimming, and flying kites. Middle Street, the main street, is lined with several popular seafood restaurants and bars. Historically, this was where large numbers of enslaved Africans were landed, and memorial benches stand beside the beach. Alcohol is banned on the beach, and be sure to follow the signs when parking along the roadside. It pairs well with a visit to Fort Moultrie.
