Visiting Chuck Town

Looking for a weekend get away? Well I got a place for you! Travel down south to warmer weather and brighter houses to the quaint little city, CHARLESTON. 

 This past weekend I decided to drive down to Charleston, South Carolina. My friend goes to school at College of Charleston, so I got to see this cute little city through the perspective of a local. Today I am going to give you an idea of what to do if you ever decide to visit. 

 Beaches:


1. Sullivan's Island 


This island has nice, long beaches that are great to lay out on, run/walk on, and hang out on because it is not as touristy as the other beaches.


Fort Sumter National Monument. Here you will learn about this storied spot of the first clash between the union and confederate armies in the civil war. 

Sullivan Islands Lighthouse


2. Folly Beach 


This beach is perfect if you are looking for a younger crowd. You can also spend all day catching some waves (Big surfer spot). 

Streets: 

1. King Street

 This is the center of downtown where you will find every retail store you can think of, restaurants, bars, ice creme shops, coffee shops, and more

Every second sunday of the month, the city closes down King street to all cars. All the restaurants put seating outside, so you will get the European vibe you've always wanted in America. 

2. Market Street

Here you will find a massive market running through the center of the street. There are many vendors with unique art, jewelry, and pottery. This is the place to find all of the touristy things one wants while traveling. 

3. The Battery

This is a place where you can enjoy a run/walk along the water. There is a park that people work out in and walk their dogs as well. Here you will see the best houses in Charleston.    




Restaurants: 

1. Fleet Landing 

This is Charleston's Best Waterfront Restaurant, that has a view you will not want to miss. Housed in a 1940s retired naval building on the east side of the Charleston peninsula, Fleet Landing Restaurant features Chef Drew Hedlund’s classic and contemporary Southern seafood fare in a setting that celebrates the area’s waterfront heritage. Good for all ages. 

2. Taco Boy

Just a little outside of downtown, you will find a urban, hipster"esc" restaurant. This place is mexican style food, with margaritas to die for. Great for ages 21 and up!
