Bull Island

Located in Awendaw, SC, just a few short miles outside of Charleston, Bull Island Beach offers a secluded day-trip for wilderness lovers and history buffs alike. Once a haven for pirates, then later the site of Martello Tower (destroyed by Union troops in the Civil War,) this undeveloped barrier island was incorporated into the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge in 1932. It offers everything from idyllic woodland trails to hauntingly beautiful beaches.
