"Charleston, SC" Top 5 Page for this destination United States of America Off The Beaten Path Tip by richiecdisc

Though lacking the genteel grace of Savannah and small town down home feel of Beaufort, Charleston conjures images of southern charm ala “Gone with the Wind” like no other. It satisfies all comers with a spic and span version that verges on Disney World and yet somehow escapes being too slick a production to be taken for what it really is, a spotlessly clean, upscale historic resort with a wealth of beautifully well preserved buildings, fine eateries, and varied nightlife. Despite its popularity, it’s a quiet getaway with ample parking and manageable traffic. With scenic timeless plantations and beaches nearby, it’s a well-rounded holiday destination for all those who mosey on in.
