From the nearby beach to the iconic cobble stone streets of downtown, there is something for everyone. Though we don’t think you can really go wrong no matter what you end up doing.

The beach is a great option. Ocean temps will still be warm, but the worst of summer humidity has typically moved out by early October. Folly Beach is the most well established option with restaurants, shops, and plenty of public access points. Our favorite spot is a stretch of the beach known as the Washout, which is a section of the beach east of the main part of town with no homes that was "washed out" during hurricane Hugo in 1989. There is plenty of street parking, and the beach itself is large with plenty of room to claim your own private spot.

The main reason we fell in love with Charleston though is for downtown Charleston. Current day Charleston goes back all the way to 1680 and played a significant role in American history. There are so many unique things to do that we cannot even list them all, but we highly encourage you to spend a solid chunk of a day just walking around and exploring. Charleston is one of the best food cities in the country with endless options, excellent drink spots, beautiful historic buildings, and palm trees.

King street has high end shopping with beautiful storefronts, and the Charleston City Market is a fun stop with a variety of different items from local vendors. The Famous Rainbow Row is located on East Bay Street and worth the effort to stroll past on a nice day, with the bay across the street with views of the merging rivers and the ocean in the distance. While in that part of town, if you can time it to catch a sunset, there is a rooftop bar/restaurant at the Vendue Hotel overlooking most the city and the river that is a showcase of the low country.

The entire area south of Broad Street is like a step back in time, and a slow walk up Church Street from the battery into the center of town is a priority to-do for anyone who has never been to Charleston. You can also take a horse drawn carriage tour around the best parts of town which is a very popular activity. Everything is flat and easily walkable if you are able, but decent shoes recommended. Feel free to contact us for any specific recommendations.
