Charleston



One of the great virtues of vacationing in Myrtle Beach is its close proximity to the stately city of Charleston. Just two hours drive southwards lays South Carolina’s best preserved antebellum city, a city of cobblestone streets, courtly homes, gracious hospitality, nooks and crannies overhung with wisteria and jasmine and over 70 pre-Revolutionary buildings. We explored the picturesque streets, admired the views over the harbour to Fort Sumter where the first shots of the civil War were fired; we explored the newly restored market and took a horse-drawn carriage ride with Palmetto Carriage Works through this unique city.
