You can buy your tickets to Fort Sumter here. Seniors 62 and older get a discount. Boat to the fort leaves from this location. It has a small museum to view to kill time if you get there early.

We were lucky enough to have some dolphins escort the boat to the fort. Nice tour and piece of history

Having the name Pat Garrett made me always want to go see that part of the world I made it a point this year to visit and I was really shocked about the distances between places I visited the fort it was okay I went downtown and I was real shocked and although the people were nice it was a real disappointment.
