Connecting the Charleston Community for 60+ years
Published in historic downtown by native Charlestonians who value their deep community roots and connections, Charleston Gateway provides local businesses with a comprehensive visibility platform — print, social, web, and more — to showcase their traditions, services, food, attractions, and accommodations to everyone who loves Charleston.
Founded in 1955, Charleston Gateway Publishing produces, prints, and distributes the legacy Charleston Gateway Magazine: The Ultimate Guide to Charleston, and Charleston Gateway Map Guide & Coupons.



Both magazines and map guides are distributed free throughout Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry — just about anywhere a visitor might go: visitor centers, area hotels, the airport, restaurants, shops, attractions, and all statewide Welcome Centers. Be sure to tuck a copy in your bag or pocket to help guide you to the best of all there is to see and do in the Lowcountry!
- Single issue requests are mailed within 24 hours, or hand delivered to any of the Charleston area hotels that do not stock literature.
- Local convention groups, meetings, and bridal requests delivered to your meeting or reception site within 24 hours.
- Bulk orders shipped within 3 days.
Visit Charleston Gateway on social media!
Our Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok pages share regular tips, updates, and general information about what’s happening around the Lowcountry.
From besties to bea’s, the newly opened Sweetgrass Lounge is a sweet new spot for any special occasion - or simply because you love tippling some seriously smooth sipping. And we do mean smooooth!
As part of a local award-winning brand for the world’s smoothest vodka, the thoughtfully curated Sweetgrass Lounge tempts you with good times, elegant vibes, and creative cocktails. They had us at “drink like a local.” 🍸 🎤 👍

“Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause.” Abraham Lincoln

“Spanish Moss- A Southern Gothic, a Live Oak Lady, caressing limbs, secret and shady. Wild and pale, curly and thin, She's a tease in the breeze. She sways in the wind.”
― Charles Ghigna
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fall brings more than spooky Hallow’s Eve nights and pumpkins, it’s a great time with cooler temps to explore the Lowcountry’s backroads, county parks, and area gardens where Spanish moss profusely grows wild.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌳👩🦳 🚙 🧑🦳 We'll never tire of the many places to revel in our Live Oak silver swaying ladies. One of our favs is the drive to Botany Bay.
