A Sean Brock (James Beard winner) restaurant but at a reasonable cost. This is his Mexican restaurant that is located upstairs next to Pearlz. It has an elevator also so no worries. Very pretty setting. The tacos are made in house and the food is fabulous. Try the grilled chicken wings. You won't be disappointed!

The French Quarter neighborhood in downtown Charleston is by far our favorite area of town to walk. The homes, little gardens, churches, etc. need to be experienced. It is quaint with so much history behind it.

Everything Else
It is a small island that is very special. You can go to the beach (station 30 is a favorite) which is very family friendly. Note: there are no bathrooms on this beach. The town has many restaurants that are always crowded and friendly. Poe's is a favorite for great burgers and a restaurant that is right down the street called Obstinate Daughter gets nothing but rave reviews from visitors and local alike. A favorite spot for us to go to is the beach at the cove at Fort Moultrie for sunset. It is a peaceful, stunning place...be aware of when the tides is coming in though or you will not have much beach to sit on!
