Make sure to check out Ft Moultrie, it has much more to see than Ft Sumter and is easier to get to.

Very nice self guided walking tour through the fort. Nice visitor center too. Friendly staff. The fort has many decades of use represented.

Several primary reasons for coming:* we did everything on our three day itinerary and ran out of things to see and do.* hubby wanted to collect another stamp for his National Park passbook.* we had our lifetime park pass on us so free admission.* great view of Fort Sumter from the beach.
