5 days in Charleston Itinerary

Many visitors describe their Charleston holiday as a warm embrace by an old, dear friend--who lived about 200 years ago.

We've included these beaches for you: Isle of Palms Beach and Edisto Beach State Park. Get outdoors at The Center for Birds of Prey and Fishing Charters & Tours. Venture out of the city with trips to Caw Caw Interpretive Center (in Ravenel) and Botany Bay Plantation Heritage Preserve and Wildlife Management Area (in Edisto Island). There's lots more to do: take in the architecture and atmosphere at Circular Congregational Church, get engrossed in the history at Heyward-Washington House, enjoy the sea views from Morris Island Lighthouse, and contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Unitarian Church in Charleston.
