Get DirectionsAn island tradition that commemorates the triumph that is Easter.
As the sun rises over the ocean, celebrate that the Son is risen, indeed!
For those who like to rise early, or at least will do so on this very special holiday, you are invited to an ecumenical sunrise Easter service on the beach itself, at Breach Inlet.
All are welcome. It’s put on by many of the wonderful churches on Sullivan’s Island and the Isle of Palms. The service starts at 6:30 a.m. You’re encouraged to bring a flashlight to make your way safely before the sun rises, and a chair or blanket if you’d like to sit during the service.
It’s always a very popular event, so you are encouraged to get there early.
The location is on Sullivan’s Island beach near Thomson Park, just over the Breach Inlet Bridge from the Isle of Palms. There is some parking next to the beach, or you can park just across Middle Street in the spacious lots at Sunrise Presbyterian Church.
