Visiting Charleston, SC. With a promising food scene and a mild warm climate good for year-round tourism, Charleston is a scenic, historic, Southern and modern travel destination. My best memory of the town is from a New Year's party years ago - the party scene was buzzing, but the best part was New Year's Day morning. We bought some shrimp on the beach and enjoyed the sunny 80-degree weather sitting in the backyard, chatting and having shrimp and cold drinks. That day forever captures the relaxed and happy feel of Charleston for me. Here are some of my favorite stops around town.
