STATION 16
We love the long wooded walk at this beach access.
It’s so serene, but might be too long of a walk if you were bringing small children or a lot of equipment. We love a picnic and there is a boardwalk off the beach access path which is a perfect picnic spot!
Like most of Sullivan’s, there isn’t much parking, but the beach is nice and wide. From the beach, you have nice views of Fort Sumter and Charleston Harbor, which is beautiful.

SULLIVAN'S ISLAND STATION 28 1/2
You have to see the huge tide pool at the beach access at Station 28 ½.
It’s right near the spaceship house, which is also a must-see. There’s not much beach because the tide pool is so big, but overall the beach is nice and wide. It’s a short walk and a great place to bring your dog to run! There is one caveat- recently an alligator was removed from the tide pool, but I’m sure it’s fine now…..
6.4, only because of the alligator.
SULLIVAN'S ISLAND STATION 32
You may not agree with me, but this beach access is one of my favorites. You’ve got to see it if you love the coast of the Pacific.
We’ve spent a little time in CA over the years and love that craggy, magnificent coast. This beach access reminds us of the Pacific coast because there is a rock inset and you walk down a little hill to get to the protected beach like a little cove. It’s small and narrow and feels like a private beach.
There are nice views of the Isle of Palms too. This beach access should be a secret because that’s how it feels.
I really love it, so I kind of hate to share it, but how can I not?
