Sullivan's Island, Barrier island at Charleston Harbor entrance, South Carolina, US
Sullivan's Island extends for two and a half miles along the South Carolina coast, forming a residential community of 2,000 inhabitants near Charleston Harbor.
The island served as the primary entry point for approximately 40 percent of enslaved Africans brought to Colonial America during the transatlantic slave trade.
Fort Moultrie National Monument preserves military structures from different periods, representing the evolution of coastal defense systems from 1776 to 1947.
The island maintains strict building codes that limit construction to 2,500 square feet per residence to preserve the natural environment.
Edgar Allan Poe drew inspiration for several literary works from his military service at Fort Moultrie between 1827 and 1828.
