About This Beach
Sullivan's Island beach offers a peaceful, relatively uncrowded escape with beautiful scenery and views of gorgeous houses. While the beach itself is generally clean and appealing, access can be challenging due to limited parking and occasionally flooded walking paths. The lack of restrooms and lifeguard is a notable drawback.
