Sullivan's Island
Barely three square miles small, Sullivan’s Island sits right at the mouth of the Charleston Harbor. This charming community is much beloved for its relaxed, authentic feel, with no beachfront commercial development or hotels allowed. As a result, Sullivan’s Island feels like a throwback in time, where chatting with neighbors over a good meal and a sunset stroll on the beach is about as busy as it gets. Edgar Allan Poe, stationed here in the 1820s, set “The Gold Bug,” a short story about a buried fortune, right here on the island. Today, the local library, several streets, and a restaurant are all named in honor of the author and his writings. Though no cache of gold coins has ever been found, the island’s real treasure is its idyllic lifestyle, which does come at a price—Sullivan’s Island boasts some of the area’s most valuable real estate.
