Other than eating and drinking, there are lots of things to take up your time in Charleston. Here are a few of our favorites.

My favorite thing to do in Charleston is just walk the city! At every turn there is so much history and beauty. Walk the Battery, Waterfront Park, the Market and down King Street.

Shopping - There are so many great boutiques and lots of well known shops all along King Street. Go through the City Market on Market Street for more handmade and unique items.

Schooner Pride Sunset Cruise - A great sunset activity!

Beach - There are lots of different options if it is warm enough for a beach day. Isle of Palms, Sullivans Island and Folly Beach. I would recommend Sullivans Island or Folly Beach.

Sullivans Island has a little bit less of a town feel and is more beach homes. But has one of my favorite brunch spots, The Obstinate Daughter. Make sure to stop at The Co-Op for a frosé. Also stop at Shem Creek on your way back downtown. Enjoy drinks/bites at Saltwater Cowboys along Shem Creek.

Folly Beach is very laid back but has a bit more going on. There are little beach shops, bars, restaurants and hotels. May be more crowded on a nice day.

Tours - There are so many options from food tours, brewery tours, ghost tours and carriage tours.

Angel Oak - Outside of Charleston, on your way to Kiawah Island, you can stop to see the Angel Oak, the largest live oak east of the Mississippi.
