Island living. If you’re lucky enough to call Sullivan’s Island home, then you likely enjoy endless amounts of sunrise and sunset strolls on the beach. The island is home to about 2,000 residents that occupy beachfront homes and charming cottages with wide porches, pools and spacious yards.
Steeped in history. Sullivan’s Island was settled in the late 17th Century by Captain Florence O’Sullivan while he was stationed as a lookout. The island has a strong military background as it was the site of a major Revolutionary War battle, The Battle of Sullivan’s Island, and was involved in the first shots of the American Civil War.
Unique restaurants. After enjoying a beach day, head over to some of the area’s most popular restaurants for lunch or dinner. Some of our favorites are Home Team BBQ, Mex 1 Coastal Cantina and Poe’s Tavern. For more of an upscale meal, join The Obstinate Daughter for a celebratory dinner. Sullivan’s Fish Camp is the newest and hottest spot on the island that we are excited to try out.
