Sport and Fun....

Sullivan's Island offers a bevy of water based activities. Grab your fishing rod and head down to the beach, take your surfboard out to catch some waves, or try your luck stand-up paddle boarding. Fort Moultrie, a series of fortifications on Sullivan's Island that were built to protect the city of Charleston during the Revolutionary War era, deserves a visit. The Sullivan's Island Lighthouse, otherwise referred to as the "Charleston Light", has an interesting history and is considered one of the more modern lighthouses in the country. It even continues to act as a guiding point today for ships passing in and out of the Charleston Harbor. Don’t forget to scan the beach for the plentiful seashells and sand dollars that are a common sight here, to keep as a reminder of the beauty of Sullivan’s Island.
