The Battery + South of Broad Neighborhood
If there's one thing that we recommend you do in Charleston, it's walk the Battery and the South of Broad area of Charleston. You will see some of the most spectacular southern homes and historic streets in all of America. Becca + Jacob loved walking this area weekly when they lived in downtown Charleston.

Shopping and Walking on King Street

Shem Creek
Shem Creek is a waterfront area lined with restaurants, bars, and boating activity. Stop by to take a walk at Shem Creek Park & Boardwalk, grab a bite to eat, or watch a boats cruise in and out of the creek. You can also stop by and rent kayaks, or hop on the Palmetto Breeze for a boat ride!
Isle of Palms, Folly, and Sullivan's Island Beaches
If you're wanting to visit one of Charleston's beautiful surrounding beaches, Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, and Folly Beach are all accessible from downtown via 20 minute car ride. Each beach has it's own individual feeling. See below for our overview of each: - Isle of Palms: Best beaches, great for walking, and a smaller downtown area -Folly Beach: Most touristy feeling, but lots of bars and restaurants with a laid back surfer feel - Sullivans Island: Nicest restaurants and bars, great for a sunrise or sunset on the beach
Restaurant Recommendations
Here are some of our favorite dinner restaurants in Charleston! For restaurants that offer reservations, we recommend making then as soon as possible as reservations get swooped up in Charleston pretty far in advance! - Vern's - amazing American fare in a small, intimate setting. - 167 Raw - great seafood in a chic but non-stuffy environment; no reservations, first come first serve. Go around 4:30 or 5, put your name in (likely a couple hour wait). If you want to grab a drink in the meantime, go to Bar 167 around the corner for incredible cocktails! - Chubby Fish - incredible seafood and bites in a warm neighborhood setting; no reservations, first come first serve. People start lining up outside around 4:30. They open at 5, then go group by group until they fill a list of tables for the night. Get there before 5, then when it's your turn in line they'll likely tell you to come back a couple hours later. We love Elliotborough Mini Bar or Tippling House for a drink while you wait!
