Fun Things to Do

There’s always a selection of events, festivals, and shows to choose from. The Charleston City Paper is a free weekly paper that provides a good summary of what’s going on. You can find it in most restaurants and bars in the area. There’s an online version but we prefer carrying the paper version as a guide, plus you can do the crossword over a beer.

There's a market in Park Circle on Thursday afternoons and a larger one downtown on Saturday mornings (during the warmer months). In addition to local farm stands you can find a good variety of gifts, art, crafts, and several prepared food stands.

When the weather’s nice, we recommend exploring the many water activities on offer in the area. Rent a kayak, charter a boat for a booze cruise, or book a fishing excursion. And of course, there’s always the beach.

Beaches

Horse carriage tours are pretty popular; however, we do not recommend them when its warm. Charleston often gets way too hot for the horses and it can be dangerous for them. Instead, we recommend trying a walking tour, getting a pedicab ride for an informal tour, or taking a tour of the harbor by boat.

Boat Tours

Charleston’s growing collection of breweries starts about 15 minutes from the house. There’s a free trolley on Saturdays you can use to hop around.

Brewery District

Located on the Charleston harbor, the aquarium is a nice way to spend a hot or rainy afternoon.

Take the pedestrian bridge from Park Circle into the park and enjoy a

walk, a picnic, the play ground, or maybe a festival or concert depending on the

schedule.

Riverfront Park

Located in the center of Park Circle, this new playground is massive and so much fun for everyone. It's billed as the world's largest inclusive playground. If you have children you should definitely check it out.

center of Park Circle.

Known locally as “the duck pond”, this park is a great place for a stroll.

There are vending machines containing food you can purchase to feed the duck and geese. Please do not feed them anything other than what comes out of the machine, and drive slowly around this area as they like to wander into the street.

Quarterman Lake Park

There are free tennis courts located on the corner of East Montague and

North Avenues.

Fun indoor golf range located about 10 minutes away. It offers a full bar, food

menu, and fun for all ages and abilities.
