Guests who want to maintain their exercise regimen may use the heated outdoor swimming pool and the large, well-equipped fitness center. Be sure to ask about the special golf, fishing and dive packages. And if you need a meeting room, Sumner has several available, each with the amenities necessary for conducting successful business meetings. On its quiet stretch of the island, the Iron Steamer got its name because the remains of a sunken Civil War blockade runner are visible from the resort's pier at low tide. Favored by families and anglers, the Iron Steamer Resort has 49 oceanfront rooms and a lighted fishing pier complete with a tackle shop, fishing gear rentals and a 24-hour snack bar.
Guest rooms have refrigerators, microwaves, private balconies and two double beds.
Guests may enjoy the beach, pool and sun deck and can fish free from the pier. The Iron Steamer is open February through November. Each room has a small private balcony, and guests have access to the beach, the pool, golf packages and tennis courts. The Cutty Sark Lounge and the Clamdigger Restaurant are favorites of locals, who know all about the weeknight dinner specials. Meeting and banquet facilities are available.
