Sullivan’s island sunset - spring 2025
There’s something unforgettable about Charleston at sunset—especially when seen from above. This drone gallery captures the soft glow of the Ben Sawyer Bridge linking Mount Pleasant to Sullivan’s Island, the iconic black-and-white lighthouse standing tall at golden hour, and the winding marsh creeks teeming with life. One of the most surprising views is a large mudflat that, from the sky, resembles a miniature river delta—like a slice of Alaska right here in the Lowcountry. Shot with the DJI Air 3S, these high-resolution videos showcase the natural textures, light, and motion that define this coastal region in a way you just can’t see from the ground.
