Fort Moultrie and much of Sullivan’s Island experienced flooding. The Visitor Center will operate as normal. Some or all of the fort may be flooded. Conditions may change throughout the day as flooding drains. Exercise caution when exploring the park.

Charles Pinckney NHS will operate as normal.

Thank you for your patience and concern as our staff ensured our historic resources and visitors remained safe during the turbulent weather.
