Reid and Karsen

Things To Do

THINGS TO DO: Sullivan's Island Beach: This is the closest beach to where you are likely staying. My personal favorite, this is where Reid and I got engaged! The Battery: A walkway along the water with beautiful homes! Rainbow Row: Most common tourist stop! Great photo opportunity! Ravenel Bridge: Grab your walking buddy and head over the big bridge! There isn't a much better view in town! Shem Creek: Right by our wedding venue, Shem Creek is a great place to enjoy waterfront restaurants and bars. Charleston City Market: Where local vendors sell their art daily! A beautiful stroll with a handful of shops and restaurants nearby. Shop til you drop! King street is our go to for shopping. If you have kids, the children's museum and aquarium are a bunch of fun! You can also rent bikes or water toys to take out to the beach.
