Charleston, SC—things to do & see?

I'm probably biased since my brother in law is the chef but Renzo's is worth checking out if you enjoy good pizza and pasta.

John King (corner of John and King - near Hall’s mentioned above) is a great dive bar, especially sitting at the bar.

My wife and I went back to visit last May and did a couple things we hadn't before. One that we really liked was visiting the Magnolia Cemetery. You can drive (we did) or walk through much of it, and it has some beautiful, fascinating areas and grave markers from a lot of famous people from a long time ago. You should check it out. We also liked Lewis BBQ and the Ft. Sumter tour.

As most comments above reference, it is a really neat town with so much stuff to do. BTW, we stayed at a condo on Seabrook Island not too far from Charleston and that is a super cool place, private island with no commercialism on it or the beaches. Highly recommend.

Tattooed Moose, get the duck confit sandwich, it's worth it for a quick lunch stop.

Charleston City market and Battery walk

Isle of Palms walk Found a couple of intact conch shells the grandkids will probably get a kick out of.

Some of our contingents did a carriage tour and thought that was very worthwhile.

We might do some flat water kayaking tomorrow.

I’m rolling into Charleston now. @mtwarden how was your trip?

Had a great time! Good weather- mid 70's for highs, lows in the 50's- no complaints there.

We hit the beach a couple of times, spent a lot of time in the old downtown area; we didn't find time to kayak or try our hand at some fishing- next time.

We hit a few restaurants that were listed in this thread-all good. We had a little Vietnamese restaurant literally right next door- at lunch there a couple of times. Our wedding rehearsal supper was at a whisky bar (Bar Mash) and they had a bunch of different sliders and appetizers; also got a great meal at the wedding-an old plantation just out of Charleston.

My nephew just graduated medical school at MUSC and got me a week pass to their gym for $15- almost hit it daily- easily the nicest gym I've ever used. Between the gym and getting lots of walking in, felt like I could eat what I wanted

The history in Charleston is old, very old- back to the 1600's- nothing even remotely approaching that in Montana, so that was definitely cool

I think almost anyone would enjoy that area, probably less so in July and August though.

Eat. Then eat some more. Then find another place to eat. The food there is sensational. You cannot leave there without having shrimp and grits. My nephew and family used to live near there but then the turd moved so we didn't have an excuse to go eat there. Did I mention something about eating there?

Note: We liked the walking tour significantly more than the carriage tour.

Agree with you, Walking tours allow you to get up close to the sights and feel more connected to the place. You can take your time to observe details you might miss in a carriage, and you can ask questions or engage with the guide more freely.

Wow! You guys rock— thanks a bunch!




My brother thought maybe a charter, he's never been—anyone recommend one by chance?

I've fished with Cody Margate a few times, great guy. All in one charters
