Charleston is filled to the brim with outdoor attractions that are easy-and safe- to take advantage of. Take a stroll on the sand or explore some history. Charleston has something for everyone.
Hint: Pack some waters (we are happy to offer you complimentary bottled water at the front desk), grab sunscreen or a hat and maybe some snacks. We’ve highlighted & provided links to places with nearby outdoor dining spots, too!
Waterfront Park
Home to the pineapple water fountain, Charleston’s waterfront park is the perfect leisurely stroll. Catch beautiful views of the harbor as well as a pier situated with swinging benches. We suggest a morning walk as it tends to be much quieter (& cooler!)
Hint: Grab a cup of coffee at One Broad Street

Rainbow Row
Picturesque and a quintessential stop in Charleston, Rainbow Row is made of ten brightly colored homes topped with beautiful window box displays. These homes date back to 1740 and used to belong to merchants who would run the stores on the ground floor and live above them.
Hint: In need of a lunch break? Brown Dog Deli offers To-Go and is a local favorite just right around the corner.
