Visiting Sullivan's Island

The first place to go after checking into Sullivan's Island, SC hotels, is Fort Moultrie, part of Fort Sumter National Monument. You'll quickly learn of the most significant event that occurred on the site—the battle at then-named Fort Sullivan during the American Revolutionary War. Scan the horizon for palmetto trees (you'll recognize their squat silhouette from the South Carolina flag). The original fort's walls were constructed from their trunks and packed with the same sand that rings the island today.

Such a seemingly unsteady structure held strong under the barrage of cannon fire from British warships. Envision that improbable day as you stand on this spot where history was made, and the selection of the humble palm as the symbol of the state will make perfect sense. You'll never again sit under the shade of a palmetto or gaze at the waxing moon without recalling your time on the island. Continue your wanderings with Sullivan's Island rental cars and an easy drive into Charleston, a city with many history lessons of its own. After a day seeing such landmarks as Middleton Place and Charles Towne Landing, you'll return to one of the hotels in Charleston with a head bursting with historical facts and your patriotism forever enriched.
