Travel

The historical street in the heart of downtown Charleston that has the best restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. Most of the historical homes and sites are scattered along the side streets as well. A MUST DO when you come to visit Charleston.

King Street

A trendy new hangout area that is outside of the city. Great food and music and much more casual than downtown Charleston

Park Circle 

A beautiful waterfront walk with great views of the historical plantation homes. Lots of parks and sites along the way! 

The Battery

Top Golf

Great spot for a beach day! Lots of local bands and great seafood! Highly recommend Lawerence’s Seafood on the strip
