About Charleston : Sullivans Island

Sullivans Island is only a few minutes from bustling Mt Pleasant but its charm is found in its seeming remoteness. Sullivans is strictly a residential beach community. Its small business district is comprised of a few good restaurants and beach bars and a doctor's office or two.

The Town of Sullivan's Island, a barrier island north of Charleston Harbor, is comprised of approximately 2,000 residents in half as many households. These are primarily full or part time citizens that enjoy the relaxed lifestyle of the Island. There are very few short-term rentals and no hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, or other transient lodging.

The Town, incorporated in 1817 as Moultrieville, did not allow lean-tos or shacks then as now. At that time lots were required to have a minimum of _ acre and the same is true today. Sullivan's Island is unique in that the beachfront lands which have accreted over the years, are owned by the Town and held in a perpetual easement by the Lowcountry Open Land Trust protecting the natural environment along the Atlantic Ocean.
