Charles Pinckney National Historic Site
These exhibits showcase the history of Snee Farm, displaying artifacts associated with the Pinckney family, Gullah Geechee culture, eighteenth century farming techniques, and enslaved peoples. Many stories are told to portray the history of Snee Farm.
Isle of Palms County Park
Open 9am -8pm. ($15/$20/day per car). Many families go to this beach because it has restrooms, lifeguards on duty and convenient parking. If you are planning a day at IOP Beach, the parking lot will be full about an hour after opening during the month of May, so get there early. If you are unable to park at the County Park, there is additional “pay-by-the-hour” parking close by. Also, there is a Grocery Store (Harris Teeters) within walking distance for beach supplies or drinks (No alcohol on SC beaches, heavy finds if caught). Need a bite to eat? I suggest walking to Coconut Joe’s for an ocean view setting or the local dive bar called The Dinghy for a Fried Bologna sandwich.
Fort Sumter & Fort Moultrie National Monument
Two forts stand at the entrance of Charleston Harbor. Patriots inside a palmetto log fort, later named Fort Moultrie, defeated the Royal Navy in 1776. As Charleston blazed a path towards secession to preserve slavery, construction on a new fort, Fort Sumter, proceeded. The Confederacy fired on the US garrison of Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861 opening the Civil War, which redefined American freedom.
Palmetto Carriage Tours
Ride behind horses in old-fashioned carriages while receiving a narrated history lesson.
Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum
Climb aboard the historic WWII aircraft carrier USS Yorktown and the destroyer USS Laffey. Patriots Point is a "White-Glove Certified" museum that also features a land-based, three-acre Vietnam Exhibit, Cold War Memorial, and Medal of Honor Museum.
Shem Creek Boardwalk
A total of 2,200 feet long, the boardwalk runs from Coleman Boulevard to near the mouth of the creek. Standing at the harbor end of the walkway, you can see all the way from Fort Sumter to Castle Pinckney. The first section of boardwalk connects from the parking lot just off Coleman Boulevard to a hummock island in the marsh. From there, you can walk to the harbor and the recreational docks, or take the span that leads to the commercial docks where you can get a close-up look at working shrimp and crab boats.
Sullivan's Island Beach
Open all day. Boardwalk beach access at Station 22 (pier 22). Sullivans Island beach is a mostly residential area and has no paid parking, you will need to find a spot on the shoulder of the road, and during peak beach times parking is limited. When you find a parking spot, keep all wheels of your vehicle off the road when parking or you will get ticketed. Please remember, this beach does not have public restrooms. When you are ready for a break or lunch, there are many local restaurants withing walking distance, the local favorite is Poe’s on Middle St., it offers outside dinning and a good burger.
