Quick stop for a photo!!! To me this is a unique lighthouse and a must see when on Sullivan’s Island.
It is so beautiful here... All the beaches in Charleston are just dreamlike. It's my absolute favorite place to be. The area we stopped at, there is a long bridge you have to walk to in order to get there so be aware of how much you bring. There isn't a lot of close parking so be aware of that as well.
Love this place and you can access the beach right here! Quiet beach, perfect to bring the kids!!!
