The beach at Sullivan's Island is gorgeous! It is very wide and the views are magnificent. There are almost always shrimp boats right off the coast, as well as the huge cargo vessels that come into Charleston Harbor, views of Ft. Sumter, the skyline of Charleston, with its many church steeples, and the Cooper River Bridges coming over to Mt. Pleasant. Homeowners have set aside a maritime forest that runs along the beach, southern end of the island, so that houses sit way back from the beach, and as you walk you see nothing but the natural beauty of the beach, the Atlantic ocean, and the maritime forest. At the nothern end of the island there are interesting sand bars where pelicans and terns congregate, and the spectacular view at "Breach Inlet", one of the most beautiful coastal scenes you will ever see.
