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.
Who wore it better? Charleston Gateway Magazine wishes you and yours a very Hoppy Easter! 🐰

In case you haven’t heard, 02/22/22 is National Margarita Day. Is there a hidden message with all those two’s on a day tequila is celebrated? Hmmm… I’ll let you decide how to proceed.
Here’s something easier: Describe your favorite margarita. Let's have some fun: share your 3 word description in the comments and see what everyone comes up with.
Whether zesty, tangy, or salty (my 3 words), it doesn't have to be National Margarita Day (NMD) to remind you of the flavors you love. 🎉
Here's a carousel of 9 fantastic places around Charleston to sip (at least try to sip!) the delicious concoction on it's hallmark day.

Meet Howlite, rescued from the Cooper River last July by fishermen who realized the young loggerhead was caught on their fishing line. 😔
After transport to the Sea Turtle Care Center™ by SCDNR for hook removal, staff noticed other, older injuries caused by a boat strike. Two deep wounds remained across the top of the carapace; the lower portion of the shell behind the third strike was also missing. 🏥 👩🏼⚕️
The hook was successfully removed, and treatments to heal spinal and carapace injuries ensued. He demonstrated difficulty and pain with the use of his rear flippers but by mid-September he was recovering well. Howlite was ready for the exercise tank in the Zucker Family Sea Turtle Recovery. Located on the first floor of the aquarium, the center is a favorite of guests to watch these amazing creatures regain their strength and natural functions. 🌊
By mid-January, Howlite was healthy enough for the aquarium’s deepest tank. He now actively cruises around with ease, delighting all who spy him through the glass. 👀
When are you planning to pay Howlite a visit? 😊
