Sullivan’s Island Nature Trail

Sullivan’s Island opened a nature trail at off of the Station 16 beach path on June 12, 2015. Thanks in part to a collaborative effort between the Town, Charleston County’s Greenbelt Program and the Lowcountry Land Trust, this 650-foot natural vegetative boardwalk provides people with a rare opportunity to see plant life, animal life and bird life that thrives in the beautiful beachfront of Sullivan’s Island. 

Thompson ParkDolphins Breach Inlet

Thompson Park at Breach Inlet

Thompson Park is located right on the beach between Sullivan’s Island and Isle of Palms at Breach Inlet. Thompson Park is the site of an historic Revolutionary War Battle that saw the British Troops try to wade through the incoming tide from the Isle of Palms side, only to meet a watery end.  Swimming is not allowed in this area due to the incredibly strong currents and undertow. This is a very popular site for surf fishing and sunbathing as well as dolphin and porpoise sighting. Click here to read more about the Battle of Sullivan's Island.
