Exciting Excursions for your first visit to Charleston

PLANTATION VISIT
Plantations are deeply woven into American history and tell stories that connect our past and present. From the peninsula, ramble down Ashley River Road to experience a glimpse back in time at neighbouring properties. Head across the bridge to Mount Pleasant for even more. Each blends beauty, botanics, architecture, and history - and many have cafes for a midday interlude.

HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE RIDE
Old South Carriage Co.'s horse-drawn ride through downtown kicks off a first-time trip with a history lesson and general lay of the land. Clip-clop past Instagrammable destinations like Rainbow Row, The Battery, and historic South of Broad homes while taking notes on where to return for a closer look.

BEACH DAY
Catch a few rays at one of Charleston's five distinct beach towns. Trek to The Edge of America, better known as Folly Beach for its surf, beachside bars, food trucks, and outdoor activities. Take the family to Isle of Palms for a day of sandcastles and splashes. For pure serenity and relaxation, pack a great book and venture to the serene islands of Kiawah, Seabrook or Sullivan's.

HISTORY LESSON
See where the first shots of the Civil War rang out over 150 years ago with a cruise along the Charleston Harbor to Fort Sumter. A ride on SpiritLine Cruises is also a seaside tour with a 360-degree view of downtown and its surrounding marsh-side suburbs. If timed just right, you'll catch a sunset dip into the horizon or watch a dolphin hitch a ride alongside.

HISTORIC HOME TOUR
Imagine waltzing across a ballroom during the age of corsets and kid gloves at one of downtown's most historic dwellings. Exceptionally preserved in its structure, furniture, and decor, The Aiken-Rhett House illustrates what life was like for some of Charleston's most illustrious families during the 1800s.
