Lewis Barbecue Charleston
Our favorite BBQ joint in the country!

Indulge your taste buds in a culinary journey at Lewis Barbecue, a haven of smoky perfection and savory delights. Renowned for their mouthwatering, slow-smoked meats and authentic Texas-style barbecue, Lewis BBQ promises a feast for the ages.

The Darling Oyster Bar
Housed in a lovingly restored, 115-year-old storefront, The Darling strives for “instant classic” status. Grab a stool at the 14-seat raw bar fronting bustling King Street. Settle into a table full of deliciousness. Or perch beside the full-service bar. No matter where you sit, you are sure to enjoy an incredible meal. The Darling is special for Zack and Sarah as it happens to be one of their favorite restaurants in the United States - and it is where they sat together at the raw bar and decided that Charleston/Kiawah is where they want to officially tie the knot together.
Fort Sumter National Monument

Charleston RiverDogs
Root, root, root for the RiverDogs at Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park - enjoy a night at a minor league baseball game. Who knows, you may even meet the RiverDogs 'Director of Fun' and season ticket holder, Bill Murray!
The Battery Scenic Walk
Many travelers say you can't leave Charleston without strolling this historic seawall along the city's southern tip. Across the street from the waterfront promenade is Rainbow Row. This clutch of Georgian-style row houses overlooking Charleston Harbor was formerly the heart and soul of the city's merchant and maritime activity.
Charleston City Market
While some may say that the Charleston City Market is a bit of a tourist trap, others call it a great glimpse into life in the Old South. It has been a shopping hub since the 1800s and is one of the country's oldest city markets. The market buzzes with residents and visitors alike, perusing stalls loaded with toys, clothes, art, leather goods and regional souvenirs. There are plenty of locally made products for sale at the market, which you can distinguish by a "Certified Authentic: Handmade in Charleston" tile displayed on vendor stations. We recommend heading to the "basket ladies." These Gullah artisans have been weaving baskets for centuries – this craft originated in West Africa and has been passed down through the generations – using local materials, such as sweetgrass and palmetto leaves.
The Ocean Room
Elevate your dining experience to new heights at The Ocean Room, nestled within the luxurious sanctuary of Kiawah Island Golf Resort. Renowned for its exquisite steaks and coastal-inspired cuisine, The Ocean Room offers a culinary journey set against the backdrop of stunning ocean views. With an elegant ambiance and an emphasis on the finest ingredients, each visit to The Ocean Room promises a memorable, world-class dining affair on the shores of Kiawah Island.
