Located just 100 yard away, across beautiful Breach Inlet, is the Isle of Palms' sister island, Sullivan's Island. 

Natives describe the difference between the two islands simply: Isle of Palms is "more of a resort town", while Sullivan's Island is "more of a beach town."

Though casual and unhurried, Sullivan's Island offers many things to do and sites to see! There is a quaint restaurant area, public tennis courts, and an old-fashioned community playground complete with a grandstand gazebo.

Visitors can also enjoy the historic charm of Sullivan's Island by touring Fort Moultrie, originally built during the Revolutionary War, and visiting the island burial site of Seminole Indian Chief Osceola.  Other historic sites include the Sullivan's Island lighthouse, and numerous shores batteries that provided defense until the end of World War II.

Sullivan's Island has a rich literary history that continues today. Edgar Allen Poe wrote his famous story, The Gold Bug, and a number of well-known poems while stationed on the Island.

Of course, Sullivan's Island offers all the natural amenities you could want: wide, clean, sandy beaches, fishing, swimming, boating, sunning, and more.
