A Place In the Sun
The year-round moderate climate makes the Charleston area the perfect place for almost any outdoor activity such as crabbing, shrimping, fishing, boating, water-skiing, walking on the beach, golfing, tennis or bicycling. Charleston is also culturally diverse, offering music, dance, theater, art, local crafts (which can be purchased in the famous Market area) and professional sports such as ice hockey and soccer. There are over 250 churches and synagogues to choose from as well as numerous private hospitals and medical research and training facilities.
Plenty of Opportunities
There are many suburban malls, specialty boutiques, antique shops and farmers’ markets. We are also known for our excellent restaurants, many of which have been recognized by popular food and travel publications. Whether you’re looking for a taste of local seafood or international cuisine, you won’t be disappointed.
Let History Come Alive
When you’re in the downtown area, take a stroll along the Battery and view some of the cannons and artillery left from the Civil War days or enjoy a picnic lunch at the gazebo underneath the wizened old oaks or watch the sailboats drift by in the afternoon sun. Take a carriage ride and learn about the history from the colonial days of the 1670’s when Charleston was settled by English Colonists. Listen to your guide tell stories of the famous pirates that frequented Charleston Harbor in days of old, and shudder at the tales of ghosts that some say still occupy many of the historic 18th and 19th century homes here.
Having such an ideal climate, the area is perfect for walks in the park on the weekend.
