Charleston, South Carolina


Charleston, South Carolina is rated one of the top travel destinations. It is known for its picture perfect views, especially around this time of year. It is located right near the waterfront and has many nearby beaches. Also, I’d really recommend going to see the site of the first shots of the Civil War. Fort Sumter remains one of the most popular destinations for this.

The cooking in South Carolina is also one of its treasures. They are known for Low Country cuisine that includes shrimp, grits, chicken and biscuits, and seafood. The restaurant industry has recently expanded to add a little bit more contemporary cookery but still remains predominantly Low Country cuisine.

Downtown Charleston has a ton of shopping, nightlife, and dining opportunities. Although it is an older city it is constantly pulling in new energy with an increasingly cosmopolitan area. This place is probably not ideal for a family vacation or a romantic get away. But, for a history buff that is wanting adventure around some amazing scenery, this place would be perfect!

My girlfriend went there last year and she told me how great it was. I would like to visit there real soon. I like how you say it is one of the greatest destinations to visit. Great post I like to read about places I have never been.
