Sullivan Bay
This visitor site provides a unique opportunity to observe a recent lava flow of approximately 100 years old. The east side of James Island is known to have barren volcanic landscapes, dominated by black pahoehoe (ropy) lava flows of very young age. On the surface of the lava is possible to observe some tree molds that were carried down by the flow of the fresh lava. It is also interesting to see how some mollugo plants are starting to colonize the small lava fissures.
