Brewery Hop: Charleston is known for its cuisine. But, it is also an upcoming spot for micro beers and breweries. Breweries are great for tasting a multitude of beers that you know are local. Breweries like Frothy Beard offer the PERFECT family friendly experience. They have an entire kids corner with games and toys so the kids can be distracted while you sip on a nice cold one!

Pitt Street Bridge: First constructed before the Revolutionary War, the Pitt Street Bridge was an old trolley bridge that connected Mount Pleasant to Sullivan’s Island. Since the bridge shut down in 1945, it has since offered the BEST view of Charleston where you can see the Charleston Harbor, Mount Pleasant, Sullivan’s Island, Fort Sumter, and parts of downtown Charleston.
