Sometimes we inventory our day and determine that we did nothing. Nothing can take all day though when it involves walks, reading, beach time, sitting by the pool, kayaking, a frose at the Co-op or a beer and popcorn at Dunleavy’s. For those who like to keep active, Sullivan’s Island has its own unique events. Neighboring Charleston and the surrounding towns and beaches can keep you busy all year!
