Things To Do

Angel Oak

It is considered to be the largest Live Oak Tree east of the Mississippi estimating to be 300 to 400 years old and it's so beautiful!

McLeod Plantation Historic Site

If you're keen to learn more about Charleston's history and visit a plantation, we think this one presents the most nuanced and comprehensive history of slavery in Charleston. From their site: "McLeod Plantation was built on the riches of sea island cotton - and on the backs of enslaved people whose work and culture are embedded in the Lowcountry’s very foundation. It is a living tribute to the men and women and their descendants that persevered in their efforts to achieve freedom, equality, and justice."

Coastal Expeditions on Shem Creek

If you want to rent kayaks and explore the beauty of the Lowcountry right in Mt. Pleasant!

Waterfront Park

Ride the swings and be cute!

Charleston Farmers Market

Adorable farmers market in Marion Square on Saturdays!

The Battery

Strolling downtown Charleston is always a fun time. If you make it to the Southern tip of the peninsula you'll find The Battery which is a historical site from the Civil War but also now just a beautiful waterfront park with gorgeous oak trees. Stroll around the area to see the historic Rainbow Row and stunning old Southern houses.
