South Carolina Aquarium

A row of some of&nbsp;the first 18th century&nbsp;houses to&nbsp;be fully&nbsp;restored&nbsp; in Charleston&nbsp;during the 1930s. Unassuming, short stretch of houses painted bright colors&nbsp;on East Bay Street near the Battery.

Ghost Tours of Charleston

Our favorite beach in Charleston. A little bit louder with&nbsp;slightly quirkier locals. Go to Bert's for some beach food or Taco Boy for a sit down meal with delicious Mexican. If you're looking for a drink, head to the roof of Snapper Jacks. Kev recommends the Key lime pie shots. Tip: check the traffic before you go! Sometimes traffic on and off can be a nightmare. If so, head to Sullivan's.

Folly Beach, SC, USA

A very, nice, laid back beach with some beautiful beach homes. A small area on the island is home to tasty restaurants like Home Team BBQ, the Obstinate Daughter, and a personal fav, Poe's Tavern. Tip: Don't expect to find any bathrooms at the beach here
