Charleston, South Carolina in the southeastern United States is the quintessential example of a colonial southern town that has gracefully evolved into the 21st Century. With streets lined in stately live oaks draped with Spanish Moss and the many beautiful, pastel colored historic homes and buildings, the city is a must visit location on many dreamer’s lists. The United States Civil War broke out at Fort Sumter near the entrance to Charleston Harbor and is now a National Monument accessible by ferry from the historic downtown area. Charleston is also sometimes referred to as “The Holy City” because of its background of religious tolerance and the preponderance of church steeples that tower over the low rise skyline. The architecture of these many houses of worship attracts visitors from all over the world. Walking or horse drawn carriage tours of the historic buildings and churches, many of which are located along well maintained cobblestone streets, are among the favored ways to experience the charm of the city. Foodies are drawn to Charleston to experience the local cuisine, especially the seafood and a number of festivals that call the city home, including the “Low Country Oyster Festival” and “The Taste of Charleston”. Golfers find Charleston a worthy base from which to explore the multitude of golf courses that grace the entire state of South Carolina. The golfing Mecca of Myrtle Beach is only about an hour’s drive away. Charleston is located at the confluence of 2 rivers flowing toward the Atlantic Ocean and water activities including boating, water skiing, fishing and cruising are all easily accessible and provide a wonderful way to enjoy the great weather and beautiful landscape. A visit to historic Charleston, South Carolina is a worthy inclusion on the lists of our dreamers that enjoy links to the past, great restaurants and outdoor activity. Start making your plans today.
