First thing, go to the Visitor's Center and find out where to stay and what to do. Not only did she have some great tourist info but got us a great deal on a suite near Sullivan's Island and the Isle of Palms. She also had a map to show us where to go and see the Atlantic.
It was straight to the hotel to get swimsuits on and hit the beach. Poor signage meant we actually went to the wrong place. Thankfully, the correct place was just across the street. A very nice suite with a full kitchen and bath.
We only enjoyed the room long enough to put on our swimsuits and get back in the car to Sullivan's Island. We parked at the first station we came to on the island: 22 1/2
The stations are in residential neighborhoods down long boardwalks...
I have to admit that I was pretty excited about seeing the Atlantic for the first time!
But what I was really looking forward to is swimming...
It was amazing! Unlike Hawaii where the water looks warm and inviting. The water in the Atlantic looks like it should be cold...
But it was warm!!! Not Hawaii warm (as Chris pointed out) but pretty darn nice. It made swimming in the ocean fun rather than an experience of mild hypothermia...
Then we went out for supper and dessert and a good night's sleep...
