Soak up the sun at one of Charleston's nearby beaches. Folly Beach is fun and funky, Sullivan's Island is quiet and charming, and Isle of Palms is perfect for families.
Step back in time at Middleton Place or Magnolia Plantation. Both offer beautiful grounds, live oak trees draped in Spanish moss, and peaceful garden walks.
Charleston is a foodie's dream! A few of our favorites: Husk and Magnolias (refined Southern fare) FIG and Lost Isle (seasonal fine dining) Leon's Oyster Shop and Obstinate Daughter (casual with amazing seafood) Rodney Scott's BBQ (for the best smoked pork in town) Wild Olive and Mondos (Italian Restaurant on Johns Island and James Island)
For history lovers, a boat ride and tour of Fort Sumter-the site of the Civil War's first shots-is an unforgettable experience.
While you’re in Charleston, take a moment to relax and explore Hampton Park—one of the city’s largest and most picturesque green spaces. Spanning over 60 acres, this historic park features vibrant floral gardens, serene ponds, and shaded walking paths beneath towering oaks draped in Spanish moss. It’s a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll, a peaceful picnic, or simply soaking in the natural beauty of the Lowcountry.
