9 Charming Small Towns in South Carolina

Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina

And speaking of beaches, just a short drive away from downtown Charleston, Sullivan’s Island is one of the best beach towns in the entire state.

The 2.5-mile long island is known for the historic Fort Moultrie, with a few ties to the American Revolution and Civil War, a charming main street, and immaculate beaches unsullied by high-rise hotels or tourist traps.

Suitably named Middle Street, which is located in the center of the small island, is home to many favorite restaurants, including Poe’s Tavern, an Edgar Allen Poe-themed restaurant with fantastic burgers, Home Team BBQ, and The Obstinate Daughter.
