Charleston, South Carolina
The charming coastal city of Charleston is well-known for its Southern hospitality.
While those visiting usually come to learn about the history, with Civil War-era sites, including Fort Sumter and stunning centuries-old homes, what truly makes this friendly place worth visiting is the welcoming community.
You can mingle with the residents at the weekly Charleston Farmers Market or throw back a cold beer at Cooper River Brewing Company. The food scene is awe-inspiring, and you’ll find lovely beaches just a short drive away.
And if you happen to be visiting the area, another of our country’s most charming Southern towns, Beaufort, can often be found just 90 miles from Charleston.
This three-centuries-old town is where locals hang out on the front porch while drinking sweet tea and enjoying get-togethers for crab boils.
This friendly place also boasts many historical sites and glorious antebellum architecture, a picturesque waterfront, and delicious local cuisine, including thick and spicy gumbos.
