Landmark
The Battery and Rainbow Row
The southern tip of the peninsula where the Ashley and the Cooper meet, with the pastel houses everyone photographs a few blocks up East Bay.
Things To Do
The Best of Charleston
From the Battery to Upper King, Charleston is a walking city with three hundred years behind it.
History
Fort Sumter and the Harbor
The ferry leaves from Liberty Square and the ride out is half the point. Book ahead in season.
Food
The Charleston Restaurant Scene
Husk, FIG, and thirty places you have never heard of that are just as good. This is the reason a lot of people come at all.
Culture
The Charleston Museum and the Gibbes
America's first museum, founded 1773, plus the Gibbes for Lowcountry art on Meeting Street.
Outdoors
The Beaches
Folly, Sullivan's Island, and Isle of Palms, all inside thirty minutes. Folly is the loud one, Sullivan's the quiet one.
Sports
Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park
The RiverDogs on the peninsula, with a marsh sunset behind the third base line. Bill Murray is part owner, which tells you the tone.
