  Beautiful area. Fort Sumter is worth the visit. Beautiful views of the harbor. There is a very nice visitor center right across the street. They offer guided tour or you can just walk and check it out. I didn't take the guided tour. I walked at my own pace.

  Visiting Fort Sumter you will have a lot of information and details about Civil War and World War II. The rooms are open to the public, with original objects and furniture in perfect conditions! The view from the top of the fortification is awesome and it’s located on a beautiful beach where you can step the sand and enjoy the breeze.
