All about Sullivan's Island

Sullivan’s Island sits just outside of the charming streets of Charleston, South Carolina, facing the Atlantic Ocean. Occupying only 3.4 square miles, the sweeping sandy shoreline is the island’s main draw, with bike rentals, sea swimming, and plenty of space for soaking up the sun. Locals and visitors alike stop off to refuel at the charming eateries on Middle Street — one of which is named after the island’s one-time military service resident and world-famous horror writer.

Another site you’ll surely be greeted by when visiting is the Lighthouse Charleston Light, built to replace the original light that English settlers used to find the shore in the 17th century, while Fort Moultrie served as an outpost to defend Charleston in the American Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Besides its fascinating history, you can be certain that pristine sands, perfect surfing waves, and warm coastal breezes are all guaranteed to meet the eye at Sullivan’s Island.

What are the top things to do in Sullivan's Island?

Kayak Shem Creek

Right before sunset, settle into a kayak on the gentle waters around Sullivan’s Island, where an experienced crew will guide you to see one of the most commanding vantage points in the area. This three-hour evening paddle is timed with the tides for a tranquil moonlit tour to remember.

Fort Moultrie

Step back from the present day and experience the history of this restored naval outpost run by the National Park Service, from World War II to its humble origins as a log fort in the 18th century. There’s an on-site visitor center to help you get your bearings and a dedicated exhibition exploring the island’s role in the early years of the United States.

Hunley Submarine

Take a tour of the historic H.L. Hunley submarine, which sailed the seas in 1864 before disappearing for more than a century until the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA) found the ship in 1995, making it a truly one-of-a-kind exhibit.
