Sullivan's Island

Sullivan’s Island, SC | Understated Coastal Living.

Welcome to Sullivan’s Island

Sullivan’s Island is understated luxury—wide natural beaches, a compact dining strip, and a sand-and-bicycles pace that never rushes. Days unfold simply: a swim or long walk at sunrise, a quiet read tucked by the dunes, and dinner where the salt is still in your hair. The island’s character leans local and low-key—fewer distractions, more time outside, and that subtle feeling you get when a place is exactly comfortable in its own skin. For people who want a Sullivan’s Island lifestyle that’s private, refined, and close to town, this is the sweet spot.
 

Breach Inlet / Station 29-32 (West End)

This is the quiet, natural end of Sullivan's closest to Breach Inlet wide beaches, amazing dolphin-watching, and a more tucked-away feel. Homes here skew higher-end because of the scenery and the privacy. Buyers come for the "edge of the island" magic and inlet views; sellers benefit from rarity and the emotional pull of this location.
 

Lighthouse Area / Station 18-19 (South-Central West)

Near the Sullivan's Island Lighthouse, this pocket feels serene and classic shaded boardwalks, shorter beach walks, and a slightly more residential vibe. It's a favorite for buyers who want a calmer stretch of beach but still want to be close to Middle Street. Sellers do well here because beach access is easy and the lighthouse corridor is always in demand.
 

Middle Street Village / Station 21-23 (Town Center)

If someone wants to walk to dinner, coffee, or cocktails, this is their zone. Station 21-23 puts you close to the island's restaurant and shop core while still keeping that relaxed, no-high-rises, no-hotels Sullivan's feel. Buyers love the "park the car and live" lifestyle; sellers love the steady traffic because walkability on Sullivan's is gold.
 

Mid-Island Classic / Station 24-28/2

This is the heart of old-school Sullivan's Island living beautiful streets, a mix of original beach cottages and newer custom builds, and easy access to both the beach and town. It's a strong fit for full-time residents and second-home buyers who want that true Sullivan's neighborhood feel. Sellers benefit because mid-island inventory stays tight and buyer demand is broad.
 

Fort Moultrie / "The Cove" & Northside Rocks (Stations near the Fort)

Up by Fort Moultrie, the vibe shifts to maritime forest, historic backdrop, and the northside shoreline locals call "the Rocks." It's quieter, more nature-forward, and perfect for buyers who want a little history with their beach life. Sellers here benefit from the distinct setting it's not interchangeable with any other part of the Charleston coast.
 

East End / Station 16-17 (I'On Connector Side)

Closer to the Ben Sawyer bridge and I'On/Mount Pleasant, this end is prized for convenience quick off-island access, shorter commutes, and still the same Sullivan's beach charm. Buyers like being able to live on the island without feeling far from everything; sellers like the demand from year-round residents and relocating families.
