• Day One: Charleston is such an integral part of South Carolina with War history, southern charm, plantation homes, homes of famous Americans, that it must be included in any trip to “get a taste of South Carolina.” So, make the above one-day itinerary plan a part of your expanded three-day trip.
• Day Two Options:
o The beach in Charleston would be a great option for day two of a three-day trip to the area. Charleston has dreamy beach resorts such as Kiawah Island, Seabrook, and Wild Dunes. Elegant resort rentals, challenging golf courses with breath-taking views, and many activity opportunities, make these resorts idyllic.
o If you do not really want to pay the top prices of these resorts, stay at Folly Beach. You will love the serenity after being in the city all day. It is the closest beach to historic Charleston. Check into the Holiday Inn, the only hotel on the beach. You’ll get to spend the second day swimming, collecting shells and walking to the light house. Some say it is the best beach of South Carolina! Have lunch at the Folly Crab Shack. You’ll be sure to relax in its fun atmosphere of tall bar tables and hammock chairs! For dinner you may want to go more upscale at River Café with French cuisine or keep it casual with pizza at the Pie House. Either way, they’re all easy to find in this small, quaint beach town
• Day Three: At the close of day two, head back to historic Charleston for a romantic experience at a Victorian bed and breakfast in the Historic district. You will feel that you have walked back in time as you unload your things in your own Victorian get-away at the Battery Carriage House. You will have your own private entrance into a room full of antiques, a brass or iron bed, quilts and pine floors. Spend a leisurely morning there, enjoying the beginning of your day out on the piazza. For day three take in the famous aquarium in Charleston. Also, head to Patriots Point Maritime and Naval Museum to tour the USS Yorktown, a naval ship which was a part of D-day and amazing maneuvers in the Pacific. It became known as the “ship that would not die.” Then take the boat out to Fort Sumter and tour the site and the museum to learn all about the complex events that lead to the first shots of the Civil War at Fort Sumter.
