Sullivan's Island Beach

---

Sullivan’s Island beaches are some of the most natural and non-commercialized beaches in the Charleston area. The island, located about 20 minutes from downtown Charleston, has no beachfront commercial development, no hotels and no B&B’s. The island also doesn’t have any public restrooms, showers, or public parking lots. The small island does however boast over three miles of  pristine, smooth sand beaches and great views of Fort Sumter, The Morris Island Lighthouse, and The Battery. The public beach access points are still called stations, a remnant from the past when beachgoers were transported to Sullivan’s Island by electric trolley. Station 18 is at one end of the island near the lighthouse while station 32 is at the other end of the island. The beaches on Sullivan’s Island are very busy in the summertime and with limited parking, beachgoers need to arrive early.
