Thank you for choosing Charleston Gateway for your vacation guide, “spanning the decades as Charleston’s first source for fun filled vacation days!” We are pleased to offer you the most comprehensive vacation guide available in our beautiful city.
Enjoy a glass of delicious sweet tea while you read through our guide and choose what to do next! Southerners love this frosty beverage, and you can learn how to make your own in our “What’s Cookin’?” feature.
South Carolina is the nesting place for hundreds of endangered Loggerhead Turtles and, during a visit to any of our beaches, you may see these nests or meet one of the many dedicated volunteers who work to protect this rapidly disappearing species. Unfortunately, many of these magnificent animals are stranded on our shores after being injured by propellers, crab traps or inclement weather. The South Carolina Aquarium houses the only Sea Turtle Hospital in our state and offers behind the scenes tours, an experience well worth the visit.
Enjoy your visit to Historic Charleston. Our website, www.charlestongateway.com, offers many more suggestions on what to see and do in our beautiful city, and, if you are on Facebook, please “like” Charleston Gateway for weekly tips on the very best our city has to offer.
