Lots of good stuff listed so far. If you’re willing to drive a couple of hours south visit Savannah and The Mighty Eight Air Force museum in Pooler GA.
Cape Romain NWR is north of Charleston and the headquarters has a maritime forest display that’s pretty cool.
Food:
Lewis BBQ, be there early because the line forms early and will go around the block. Nothing else is even close. IMO, Scotts is a tourist trap, but the original Scotts is in Hemingway SC about an hour away and is pretty good.
Pages is really good.
Halls for steaks.
If you like sushi, Locals in Mount Pleasant.
Seafood, most is geared towards tourist. Avoid anything with “buffet” in the name. Hymans Seafood downtown is good.
If you want real fresh local seafood drive north to McClellanville, that’s where it all comes from anyway.
