Dear Residents and Friends of Sullivan's Island: 
May is here and summer is quickly approaching.  With it comes warmer weather and lots of visitors
to the Island.  We hope you will take advantage of the glorious weather this month, whether
it is time at the beach, boating, playing in the Town park, participating in Mayfest or enjoying one
of the many historical education events at Fort Moultrie.
 
Thank you for having your dog permit in hand when visiting the beach and exercising extra caution
and patience with the traffic from our many Island visitors.  
Please check the Town's website often for updates on local events and news.
