Here’s How to Plan the Ultimate Staycation in Charleston, SC

Explore the Beach Like Never Before

Many of us have been to Folly Beach, Sullivan’s Island, and Isle of Palms as locals, but have you ever experienced it from a vacationer’s perspective? It’s easy to spend a weekend dining on the beach, soaking up the sun, and indulging in everything the area offers.

Spend a Day as a Tourist

Get reacquainted with the historic charm that attracts so many people to Charleston. Take a day to admire the small pieces of the city that you might take for granted as a local. You could use the morning to stroll down East Bay Street by Rainbow Row, then stop for a picnic in White Point Park on the Battery. Even walking through the downtown streets can be a wonderful activity as you appreciate the pops of color on every road and gaze into the mysterious gardens tucked behind private drives.

Get Adventurous With New Eats and Brews

Spend the weekend going to those restaurants that you’ve meant to try for weeks! Charleston has become a premier foodie destination in the last few years, so there is always somewhere new to try. Whether you opt for an upscale seafood joint or a casual seaside cabana, you’re sure to discover a new favorite place. Be sure to follow up that delicious meal with a trip to one of Charleston’s local bars. You can’t go wrong with a cold beer or a creamy piña colada.
