Step out of the city life by going to Dolphin & Whale Watching and Horse-Drawn Carriage Tours. Get out of town with these interesting Charleston side-trips: Awendaw (The Center for Birds of Prey & Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge), Beaufort (Hunting Island State Park, Pat Conroy Literary Center, &more) and Georgetown (Prince George Winyah Episcopal Church & Kaminski House Museum). There's much more to do: take in nature's colorful creations at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens, contemplate the long history of Fort Sumter National Monument, get a dose of the wild on Charleston Fossil Adventures, and explore the striking landscape at Angel Oak Tree.
