History

Sullivan's Island is home to the most modern lighthouse in the United States. Unlike most lighthouses -- which feature long, winding staircases -- here you'll find an elevator to take you to the top. Built in 1962, the 140-foot-tall tower marks the entrance to Charleston Harbor. Its 28 million candlepower lamp can be seen 26 miles out to sea, providing a helpful guide for sailors during fierce ocean squalls.
       The island is also home to Fort Moultrie, a military stronghold whose history dates back more than 200 years. Fort Moultrie was site of the first decisive victory in the American Revolution and the firing onto Fort Sumter during the first battle of the Civil War. The fort has been rebuilt several times, and the third Fort Moultrie, which was built in 1809, still stands today. Take a tour of Fort Moultrie to see how coastal defenses have evolved -- and get a great glimpse of the South Carolina coast while you're there.
