Sullivan's Island: Station 26
About
Sullivan's Island: Station 26 is a public beach access point on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, managed by the Town of Sullivans Island and about half a mile from the town itself. The access offers accessible entry to the beach along with parking, and a fee is charged. Typical averages from a nearby weather station on Sullivan's Island show warm conditions for much of the year. Highs climb from about 75°F in April to 82°F in May, peak around 91°F in July with lows near 73°F, and stay in the upper 80s through September. October cools to highs near 78°F, and November averages about 69°F. Winter is mild by most standards, with January highs around 59°F and lows near 36°F, so cooler months suit a walk on the sand more than a swim.

The Yvonne duFort Evans Ashley Riverwalk is roughly 7 miles off, and the West Ashley Bikeway, about 9 miles away, offers a riding option.
