Suzanne shares her Top 10 Picks – Insider’s Guide to Charleston

1. Walk along the butterfly lakes at Middleton Place With unbelievable views of the Ashley River, this centuries-old rice plantation is home to the oldest landscaped gardens in the United States. The wealthy Middleton family grew their famed “Carolina gold” rice, favored the world over and considered the original cash crop of the South’s agriculture industry. If visitors arrive early enough, they can catch American alligators warming themselves in the sunlight on the banks of the Ashley.

2. Eat a table full of steamed oysters at Bowen’s Island Nobody does the rustic Southern dive scene quite like Bowen’s Island Restaurant. A true hole in the wall destination for local oysters, low-country boil, Frogmore stew, and cold beer. For those guests that like steamed oysters fresh from the pot, dumped right on the table ready to be shucked, this restaurant is definitely a must.

3. Visit Fort Moultrie en route to the beach at Sullivan’s Island Fort Moultrie is easily a favorite sight to see while visiting Charleston. A Revolutionary War era fort successfully used to defend the harbor against the British during the siege of Charleston, the fort has a storied past and an unbelievable history. While many argue that Fort Sumter is the best war-related tourist attraction, in Suzanne’s opinion Fort Moultrie is more fun because it’s located right on Sullivan’s Island beach, one of the best local beaches. With sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and calm waves, Sullivan’s stands out as one of the best places in the south to soak up some rays and enjoy the gorgeous Charleston weather.
